Ferns

Learning about cyanotype is learning about shadows and light, which is not one of my strong suits, so sometimes things I think are going to make an awesome print end up being an amorphous blob.

And then there are ferns. 

I honestly didn’t think I’d derive any pleasure from making prints of things from the natural world, but, boy oh boy, are ferns amazing.

They’d make lovely cards in celebration of the festive season - letterpress greeting in blue at back.
