2026, cyanotype on paper

I have a small collection of fallen leaves that I’ve dried and pressed, and they are absolutely lovely subject matter for cyanotype prints (aka sun prints).

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process. When exposed to UV rays, the pigment turns a gorgeous blue, leaving areas that weren’t exposed white. Each print is one-of-a-kind!
