These unique and original botanical cyanotypes were handmade on silk scarves with plants foraged from the forest where I dwell in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
The plants were arranged on the fabrics, which were treated with photosensitive iron salts, and exposed to sunlight under glass. Afterward they were washed in a spring water bath to remove the iron salt residue. The reveal began here as the blue green colours came through when dried; a truly magical process from start to finish with surprising results.
This creative process combines my love of plants and place and involves the use of elements, making the creation of a wearable work of art a wondrous gift of joy to me, which is my pleasure to share with you!
The scarves are roughly 12 inches x 72 inches and have been washed, dried, and ironed.
With your purchase you receive one scarf, the photographs are examples of what you may receive; so if you like an element of mystery treat yourself to this gift!
Hand wash with cold water using a small amount of soap free of bleach, phosphates, soda, or borax. Hang dry. The scarf can be ironed on silk setting. Do not dry clean.
