So I haven’t posted for a very long time and that’s just because we have been very busy with life. Cyanotypes have had to take a bit of a back seat whilst I press on with work and make the most of the kids and summer. Not winter is approaching and the days get shorter I am hoping to get going again. This is a new print I have just finished and look forward to playing more with this method.

It finally feels like spring is in the air. Blossom is popping everywhere and there has finally been some sunshine.

This is my apple slice and blossom print. I had to come up with a creative way to cover the tannins from the apple slice that transferred on the white section of the paper. so that is where the use of acrylic paint has come in.

I like this print it’s quite bold and kitsch and for some reason reminds me of a beetles vinyl? Anyone know which one?

Here we go. It turns out i can’t do very good circles, but I knew that, as I can’t draw squares. Any ways, I am not after perfect lines. That is something I have always been way off 😆 and nature’s beauty, lies with its imperfections.

Here is my sassafras’s print almost finished and ready for framing. It will be a series of three and they will be shown at the Dover art show in September.

My next print I am working on for the Dover art show, evolves around my love of the lushes, endless, beautiful forests we are surround by in the Huon Valley.

My favourite tree is the stunning sassafras. It’s just the right time of year to capture the delicate windswept flowers. There is only a small window of opportunity to collect them and they are fragile. Makes printing a quick turn for these ones and only one opportunity to print with.

The sassafras produces its flowers under it leaves to protect them from Tasmanian’s unpredictable winters and frost.

With these strong winds this afternoon, I think I will score a few more tomorrow.

Starting to play around with some ideas and concepts for a local upcoming art show.

The theme is flora, which is ideal for the cyanotype process.

I will be submitting three pieces and it’s all very much in the planning stage.

Apples is a big part of local life and what’s beautiful about working with them, is they contain natural tannins, that will react and alter the colouration of the print. This was a very quick experiment. I am happy with the outcome and so with a bit more work, i reckon it will come together nicely.

It feels like there is a change in the air, the wattles are starting to explode and I have a few new pieces coming together.

Here is a sneak peak at the spring blossoms bracelet, I am working on.

It’s been a while, apologies it has been a busy few months. This week I have started to put together a series I have been thinking about for a while and this my first test print.

It’s a bit of a different direction for me, but the process and technique is what I really enjoy. Let me know your thoughts and I will busy working on the next couple the coming week or two
