Botanical flags - Original toned cyanotypes
Botanical cyanotypes, bleached and toned brown with tea. Each flag measures approximately 6.5x8 inches. Bunting measures 5.25 feet from end to end plus 17 inches of fabric on either end for tying.
About cyanotype:
A cyanotype (sun-print) is light sensitive photographic print that dates back to the 1840’s. I create my art by painting a light sensitive solution onto solid wood, paper or fabric. The surface is covered with ethically collected organic materials that I have found or pressed. I then expose the surface to sunlight. Whatever is on the surface, plants or a negative, blocks the light and the remaining surface that is exposed to sunlight will be chemically altered. Finally, it is washed with water which rinses off the remaining chemicals and results in a deep Prussian blue color.
