Postcard prep

Meadow assembly
I would so like the purply blue inside the fronds to stay…but it didn’t.
A lucky, side of a dusty logging road find.
Different sizes and shapes present and require different plants and assemblies. I like squares.
Lunaria before the water wash. I’ve been experimenting, have been wetting the leaves before placing them on the paper, and into the sun. I like the splotchy effect it creates.
The perfect sun and heat to print lunaria. The sun creates depth that the uv lamp just can’t find. Maybe a bit like music heard digitally vs a turn table.
A little weed I stole from a neighbour. Maybe my very favorite print.
Parkdale Night Market
Blue Jay in our backyard
Cyanotyping on a canoe trip down the Yukon River.
Collecting plants and things along the river and printing postcards.
Algae printed on wet cyanotype. I spread soap bubbles on the paper and spray the image with white vinegar. It then stays out in the sun for many hours.
I walked Le Puy Camino in France this April and collected early spring flowers along the way.
Fireweed in Yukon. Each plant can produce up to 80,000 seeds. It is often the first plant to return after a forest fire. We saw much of it in burnt out areas along the river.
No paint, just the sun.
Cyanotype on cloth. I’ll be making weighted eyepillows.
In the sun, in the Abbey in Conques, France.
