the hoot, the holler

Details

I forage all my own botanical subjects, including this little bit of an evergreen branch that ended up in the cuff of my overalls after a walk in the woods. Cyanotype is an old fashioned process that produces images in a distinct rich blue hue. My own unique approach to this process is what creates highly original pieces like this one. This ACEO Original features a single piece of evergreen on photographic paper treated with photoreactive iron compounds and other chemicals and/or pigments. All pieces are shipped with a personal note and a little gnome friend, so they don't get scared on their way to a new home. Thank you for supporting independent artists!
