Botanical Art Card: Wet Cyanotype Print - Maianthemum Racemosum

This card is based on an original cyanotype print of Maianthemum racemosum from my Secret Garden Collection which was handmade by me in my garden. The print on the card is a copy of the original. The card has been professionally printed to a high standard and on 300 gsm FSC certified card with a silk finish on the outside and matt finish inside. It is an ideal card for a gardener or nature lover.

The card is 7"x 5" (17.8 x 12.7 cm) and is dispatched with a white envelope included and is ideal for a greetings card for any occasion. The card will be dispatched in a cello bag. If you prefer not to have a bag please add a note at checkout.

My art practice is inspired by nature, I have been creating prints using wet cyanotype, a modified version of the 19th century photographic printing process, applying soap suds onto the treated paper before exposure. The chemical reaction produces interesting fluid patterns, textures and colours not normally present in a traditional cyanotype print.

The resulting pieces are unique and present botanical prints in a different and painterly manner. Each piece is created with plant material from a privately owned garden in North Yorkshire, part of my Secret Garden Collection and exposed using only the sun.
