Daffodil Daughter

4"x6" original botanical cyanotype on premium watercolor paper, inside a 7"x9" handwoven rattan tabletop frame. 

This one-of-a-kind cyanotype was printed with sunlight and made from the first spring daffodils – which were grown, harvested, pressed and dried on my farm in central NC.

Art is shipped from Saxapahaw, NC. For free local pickup, select the "pick up" option at checkout and contact Michelle directly (michelle@farmbelly.com) to coordinate pick up timing.

About the cyanotype process: Cyanotype is a centuries-old photographic process that uses sunlight and a UV-sensitive chemistry to create “blue prints” of images on paper or fabric. When sunlight hits paper that has been painted with the UV-sensitive solution, everything exposed to the UV light turns a deep Prussian blue after being rinsed in water, and anywhere that was blocked from the light turns white/light blue.
