Experiments in wet cyanotype - part 101

As I'm gearing up for this year's botanical printmaking season, I realized I had one set of prints from late last fall I hadn't shared yet. So here for your enjoyment are a pair of black cherry leaf prints, done on cotton sateen.

You can see from the state of the leaves how late in the season it was. 

Here they are after exposure but before rinsing out. It was a nice sunny day, but only in the 60's F. Wet cyanotype prints are much more subdued when done in cooler temperatures.

Here they are rinsed out and finished. Still somewhat subdued, by my standards, but in this case that's exactly what I wanted for the project they are destined for. They will be very lovely and lyrical once they are stitched up.
