This is an original cyanotype which is a form of alternative photography. Since my childhood hydrangeas have been my favorite blossom. I grow them in my garden for floral arrangements and use them in my cyanotypes as well. The bloom was placed on sensitized paper, given a spray of vinegar water then placed in the sun to be exposed. The print was rinsed, dried & cured. Watercolor was used to enhance the leaves and real florwers were dried & placed on the print.The print was mounted on a cradle board measuring 5" x 7" X 7/8" and given a protective coat. This item was created in Sacramento, CA.
