Cyanotype print of a long-haired kitten in deep blue on white watercolor paper, with brushed edges — Suki, hand-printed in cyanotype

How it works

You send me a photo. I tune it up and turn it into a negative, then brush light-sensitive iron solution onto heavy cotton paper by hand and let it dry in the dark. The negative and paper go under glass and UV light, and a rinse in plain water brings out that deep Prussian blue.

Because every sheet is coated by hand, the brushed edges and little textures are different every time. No two prints come out the same, even from the same photo, and that is exactly the fun of it.
