I enjoy mixing media and experimenting with techniques, it creates new opportunities in which to develop my work. In this piece of art I combine cyanotype printing with drawing.
In my previous post Catching the sun- creating my cyanotype prints I explained the process I use to make cyanotype print pictures.
For this cyanotype print I used a small wooden bird blank, a paper doily, dried lavender and gypsophila flowers.
I exposed the paper to sunlight. You can see where the shapes have been.
I then stopped the paper's exposure by washing it in a water bath.
The resulting cyanotype print.
I then completed my picture by using a paint pen to add details.
This piece of work will be up for grabs in my SteemFest Art Giveaway tonight! See my previous SteemFest Art Giveaway here.
Little birdie :) I'm still amazed by this process!

It's fainter than my usual cyanotypes because I tried out Fabriano paper for this one. I like the ghostly silhouette, I made it in the morning when the shadows are cast longer, for a sharper image I need to do it at noon, but I like the way this has turned out. It works well when combined with brighter colours.

Doily snowflakes? I'm starting to get my Christmas pictures ready next week, maybe I'll do a few more of these.
