Welcome to part 105 of my ongoing experiments with the wet cyanotype process. On this day I started with setting up a print on cotton of bottlebrush buckeye leaves. This is my second year growing this plant that's native to my region, and I'm enjoying the shape of the leaves and the light green color in the landscape.
Next I did a panel of oak leaf hydrangea, leather leaf viburnum, and Carolina allspice leaves. All of the prints in this day's session used standard cyanotype chemicals with small additions of solarfast solar dyes.
I also made prints on mineral paper with the same types of leaves.
Here are all the prints after exposure but before rinsing them out.
Printing on mineral paper is always so widely variable and unpredictable, and I love that about it.
Here are all the finished prints. I especially love the sense of flow and motion on the bottlebrush buckeye print.
