Cyanotype on watercolor paper 10″ x 8″ on paper, mounted on white 14″ x 11″ acid-free mat board.
Yarrow Two is an original cyanotype on archival watercolor paper. These hardy flowers grow in my Colorado high alpine garden. I love their colorful blooms that last all summer long. The deer hate them, so they don't eat them, another plus!
Cyanotypes are one of photography's first printing processes. Its prints' distinctive feature is its cyan blue shade, which results from its exposure to ultraviolet light. I used plants from my garden to block the UV rays and create unique, botanical silhouettes.
