Cyanotypes!

I love cyanotypes. I made this one with specially treated photo paper. The fern leaves create a lovely silhouette, don't you think? I love the blue tones. Each one of these is different, something inherent in the cyanotype process. You can't do this digitally, folks. ;) I made several with ferns, some with spaghetti noodles (dry, of course, silly). The noodles made great straight lines across the paper. Very modern. Those cyanotypes I'm turning into pinback buttons. I plan to make these available in the shop in the coming week. Be sure to check here, as I'll be certain to update you when I'm listing them, as there are only a few of the fern cyanotypes available. Sun is required to create these photographs, and we don't see much of that here in Ohio in February.
P.S. New poll up on the site tomorrow! Promise.
Love,
B

My son and I had a great time with these this past summer.
