"Lepidoptera" Handmade Cyanotype Print

A new, varied series of original cyanotype prints I am creating, using the traditional cyanotype process.

Using images of moths inspired by the illustrations in my collection of "Observer's Books", I create the prints onto beautiful translucent teabag paper and then layer them onto a sturdy, ivory coloured mount board using a transparent acrylic medium.  The result is as though the print had been made directly onto the board! These prints are experimental and unique - in some cases I have also used bleaching/toning processes to alter the colours of the insects in subtle and unpredictable ways...

All of these prints are made to order.
