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 turn it into a negative, then brush a light-sensitive emulsion onto heavy cotton paper by hand. The coated paper is exposed to UV light and rinsed, which 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.
