Original Cyanotype Print

An ideal gift for gardeners, plant lovers and art enthusiasts.

Cyanotype prints are real photographs of flowers, using the sun to process paper painted with cyanotype chemical. The print turns a gorgeous Prussian blue, and when washed, leaves behind an x-ray image of the flower. It's science meets art while painting with sunlight!

Each fine grain - heavyweight paper (200g/m^2) is hand cut, hand painted and made fresh to order, they’ll differ slightly – but that is the beauty of it! I leave a small white border and try to show a little of the brush strokes for extra interest.

The prints can be framed, used as a card or given as a gift. (Frame not included)

I also sell cyanotype print kits if you would like to make the prints yourself. It's a beautiful way to capture the seasons and the beloved plants in your garden and can be shared with children as a fun activity or done alone as a curious and creative adult who likes to experiment. Either would make an excellent gift for a gardener. I've made a Youtube video that talks you through the whole process with tips and tricks!
