Borage has appeared at the edge of the vegetable patch and is flowering. I planted some borage seeds a few years ago and haven’t needed to plant any more since. It just pops up in various places in the top part of the garden and over the last year has flowered almost all year round. I used it in December when I made a cyanotype on the winter solstice and again on May Day when I was making lumen prints - swipe to see them both. I used them both times to record how mild the last year has been. Both prints were made to document what was flowering at the time and to record the length of daylight on each day . . . . . #cyanotype #alternativephotographicprocess #alternativephotography #alternativeprocess #cyanotypes #cyanotypeprint #blueprint #sunprint #sunprints #photogram #altprocessphotography #experimentalphotography #cameraless #cameralessphotography #victorianphotography #victorianphotographicprocess #lumenprint #lumenprinting #lumenphotography #photogenicdrawing #borage #botanical #botanicalprint #gardenstudio #longexposure
I’ve been working on lots of solar dyeing this spring and summer using leaves and flowers growing in my garden. There’s quite a large collection of jars in the sunniest part of the patio with a range of colours in them, dyeing threads and fabric ready to be made into things over the autumn and winter. This image☝️is a jar started nearly four weeks ago. I’ve made a basic solar dyeing tutorial which I’ve added to my stories today, there’s a poll at the end as I’m thinking of writing a more in-depth online course so if you’re interested let me know☀️ And please tag me in any dyeing you do from this so I can see your results! . . . . . #solardye #solardyes #solardyeing #solardyetutorial #plantdye #plantdyes #gardenstudio #botanicaldye #botanicaldyeing #plantdyeing #dyeing #naturaldye #naturaldyeing #slowcraft #slowdyeing #coloursfromnature #dyersofinstagram #naturaldyersofinstagram #geranium #geraniumflowers #geraniums #geraniumdye #geraniumdyeing
Dock root print made in the wind and rain 🌧 I love that when you make a cyanotype print with a 3D object the effect is much more ghostly and the result unpredictable compared to the neat prints that you can achieve using something flat. I’ll be teaching an introduction to cyanotypes workshop where you can learn how to make both ghostly and neat looking prints on Sunday 15th September from 10-12 @forest in Deptford Market Yard. This will be the last cyanotype class I’ll be teaching until next spring so come along and learn how to use this amazing process 💙 Link to book tickets in bio and on the @forest website. Cyanotypes are a nineteenth century photographic process using chemicals that produce beautiful blue prints when exposed to sunlight. Working with a range of objects you will create photograms by arranging these on the light sensitive paper. After an introduction to the process and its history you will be shown how to coat your own paper with cyanotype chemicals. Whilst this is drying you will have an opportunity to make some test prints before using the paper which you have hand coated to create a range of images using sunlight to expose your images and then water to develop them. At the end of the two hour session you will leave with a range of prints. . . . . . . #cyanotype #cyanotypeworkshop #alternativephotographicprocess #alternativephotography #alternativeprocess #alternativephotographyworkshop #photographyworkshop #cyanotypes #cyanotypeprint #blueprint #sunprint #sunprints #photogram #altprocessphotography #experimentalphotography #cameraless #cameralessphotography #victorianphotography #victorianphotographicprocess
Some poppy seed heads I collected from the garden at the weekend. I love these and every year after shaking them around the garden I collect them all up to have in the house. I often prefer the seed heads of plants to the flowers that came before them . . . . . #poppy #seedhead #collect #display #seed #selfseeded #gardenstudio #harvest
