Here is another sunny September batch of wet cyanotype prints on mineral paper. Again, I used leaves from my gardens and yard. Above are two calla leaves; I planted an unlabeled assortment of bulbs this spring, and I believe these are two different varieties, hence the slightly different profiles. I also planted a lot of ferns, and while they were all labeled and I kept track of what went where, for printing purposes I didn't check my notes, just clipped a good looking one.
I have an elm growing at the fence line, and snagged a twig of that as well. I love the leaf edges.
Here are the prints after about 5 hours exposure, but before rinsing.
I got a lot of nice, fine leaf definition with this batch.
The rusty color on these is pretty fabulous, but it does rinse out.
Here are the finished prints.
I got some purple tones in some of these.
On the whole, I think this batch has a very aqueous look to them, like they were caught in a storm or a moving stream of water.
This elm print is so simplistic yet so very striking.
