Botanical cyanotypes
Cyanotype on paper — botanical forms laid straight onto the sensitised sheet and exposed in the sun, so the plant draws itself.

Making notes
Cyanotype is a contact process: the plant is placed on coated paper, left in the sun, then washed in water. What you see is the actual shape of what was gathered that morning.
The blue deepens for days after washing, so a print made in spring and a print made in autumn are never quite the same colour.
Care
Frame behind glass and keep out of direct sunlight. Cyanotype is light-sensitive and will fade in a bright window.
These notes are draft wording retained for Meg’s review. Meg will confirm the materials, dimensions and care for each piece.
