Daffodil Daughter no. 2

5"x7" original botanical cyanotype on premium watercolor paper, float mounted on handmade paper and framed to 8"x10" in an elegant solid walnut 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. 

This piece is sold matted and framed. Prints are shipped from Saxapahaw, NC, within 7 days of purchase.

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.
