I was undecided as to what I wanted to put on my blog today. It's the first day of autumn, and I wanted to ruminate about that. However, I have these lovely new wet cyanotypes I made yesterday and am excited to share them. So...perhaps there will be two blog posts today? Or...maybe I'll blog about autumn tomorrow. After all, I still need to get more pumpkins and the second truckload of firewood still needs to be delivered (both of which would make lovely photographic subject matter!).
All these pieces are very small works ranging from just under 3" square to about 6" square (with postcard size 4 x 6" in between). I'm inspired to make a couple larger pieces now and have two full 18 x 24 inch pieces of water color paper coated with cyanotype sensitizer. Tomorrow, I'll make an additional wet coat and then place the botanicals. I love using what grows locally, to document the region (mostly), but also what lives on this little plot of land outside my door.
