Welcome to part 97 of my documented experiments in wet cyanotype printing. I started this project in June of 2017, and it has continued to hold my interest over the intervening years.
I began this batch with a large branch of red mulberry leaves on a cotton sateen panel. The mix was mostly cyanotype chemicals with just a splash of Jacquard solarfast solar dyes.
I then prepped 3 smaller panels with the same setup.
I still had some leaves to play with, so I did some panels on mineral paper.
These were all set out in strong sunlight and left to develop for several hours.
Here are all the panels after exposure, but before rinsing. Those greenish colors in the centers of the leaves are undeveloped chemicals that generally rinse out or become bluish. The pinkish tones are from the Solarfast, and they may or may not rinse out, depending.
Here are the finished prints. I am quite pleased with them.
The mineral paper prints are especially swirly and I love them.
