Thursday November 21st 6-9pm Here you can see some of my preparation, made using textile scraps, for those of you who like a little starting point to then embellish and make your own. For those who like a blank canvas we can work that way too.

I'm sure I learn something every time I create a cyanotype. It's fun preparing different types of paper and noticing the sun or cloud cover and how they change moment by moment. Here we have parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.🌿 #sunprint #cyanotype

Perfect weather for creating some sun prints! I've used love in a mist, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and seaweeds gathered on a walk at Blue Anchor Bay. They're currently drying, having been rinsed, and are becoming a deeper blue as they dry.☀️💙
