Cyanotype – Photographic Printing
I have a long way to go with this process. Love it though. Especially since I can get some exercise and vitamin D while I collect flora a fauna to print – can’t think of a better way to spend some time outside. I used to do cyanotypes with my sons when they were in elementary school and was happily reintroduced to the amazing process with Jane Monteith. I haven’t even begun to really delve into the techniques, tips, and tricks she has taught me. Looking forward to exploring more tinting techniques. Like using turmeric as the catalyst. I printed some beautiful blues but not sure their vividness comes through in the photos. The Spring and Fall are perfect times for UV light and a nature walk with my dog Luna and cat Scout to collect leaves and flowers to print.
