Still catching up on documenting the summer's prints sessions. This was the last batch of wet cyanotype prints on mineral paper, made in the last warm and mellow days of September.
The first two are fern fronds from my garden.
Followed by a maple twig, and a bit of the horribly invasive but good for printmaking Japanese knotweed.
Here are the prints after exposure, but before rinsing and finishing.
Once again, I am delighted by the way the chemicals move around on the slick surface of the mineral paper before settling down and permanently staining it.
Those rusty tones are spectacular but will rinse out, so I'm glad I always take a moment to record them at this stage.
Here are the finished prints.
So much swirly goodness!
And nice crisp leaf outlines on the knotweed print. November has turned a bit dreary, as per usual, and it's good to have some summery goodness to reflect back on.
