Cyanotype printing

I've been busy this week printing cyanotype prints in the garden.
Not much sunshine around so making the best of it when I can!

Garden foliage and lace held down with sheets of glass.

Some of the prints being washed off in the kitchen sink - the stripes across the photo are the reflection of my kitchen blinds in the water - however I tried they just kept wanting to be in the picture!

I am linking up with Julia over at WOYWW this week.

  2. Using glass to hold everything down is a clever idea...I wondered how you actually made the prints and now I know! Completely gorgeous once again and I love the text you've put on one.
    I'm back home after holiday and Wales.....it's so lovely to be pottering around in my garden again :-)

  4. They are gorgeous prints and I always love seeing what you've done. Those Celtic Dream Packages are Lavinia Stamp dies and I bought them from Imagination Crafts as they had a special offer on at the Doncaster Racecourse Craft Show. http://www.imaginationcrafts.co.uk/imagination-products/celtic-dreams-dies
    I might try cutting fabric with them see what happens. Thanks for the visit and Happy woyww, Angela xXx

  17. For some reason I missed this last week, Diana. Absolutely gorgeous! I do not know what cyanotype printing is and will have to investigate further, I think.
