Experiments in wet cyanotype - part 40

 I made these prints earlier in May, on a nice sunny warm day. They are on my favorite cotton sateen that I treated with the cyanotype chemicals.  I used some of the newly emerging greenery from my perennial beds, including a hosta, and two wood poppy leaves.

 You can see the developing seed pods on this one. It's such an interesting plant.

 I also caught the tail end of the variegated Solomon's seal blooms.

 I could tell right away it was going to be an energetic set of wet cyan prints. Here they are after exposure, but before rinsing out.

 There's a LOT going on here, and I love it.

 The wood poppy leaves and stems have yellow sap in them, so they tend towards a partial eco-print effect.

 This one is looking dark and mysterious at this stage.

 Here are the finished prints. I am just delighted with them.

There's lots of sparkling disturbances in these.

 You can especially see the eco-print effect in the two seed pods here, and on the leaf veins.

 I love the how the tones deepen towards purple on this one.
