Lavender - Original cyanotype patch on a pin
Original cyanotype patch
Patch measures- 4.75” x 2.5”
I love patches because there are so many things you can do with them! Embroider them to add some color, collage them, frame them, stitch them onto a bag, a jacket or even some overalls.
Keep washing to a minimum if possible. We recommend hand-washing in cold water using a non-phosphate detergent.
It is safe to iron.
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.
