Tetra Pak Print making has commenced. I'm making three postcard sized Prints for the Small Wonders exhibition at Margate Caves. The theme I've set myself is migration. It's truly wondrous to me that small animals can travel so far annually to reach UK shores.
NOT TO BE TAKEN. My Cyanotype Print made by laying my little green Victorian poison bottle on paper coated in UV sensitive chemicals in the sun. You can just make out some of the 'Not to be Taken' writing in mirror image running down the middle of the bottle.
I spent 4 feverish days in the sunshine on a deep-dive into Cyanotype recently, and I've created a new body of work, which I'm calling Little Treasures. Here's the first in the series, which is made from placing a real-life Poppy freshly picked from my garden onto the paper coated with chemicals.
Imagine my delight when I washed the paper and this heavenly image developed before my eyes. The beautiful bronze tone in the centre of the paper was created by the water coming out of the fresh Iris. Nature, science, art and chance all in collaboration. haggytea.etsy.com
