A little behind-the-scenes today. I’m working on

A little behind-the-scenes today. I’m working on some ideas in my sketchbook for the #areyoubookenough August prompt of Mountain. I’m using it as a springboard for another idea I’ve been kicking around so the book content is more important than the book structure. Anyway, very early stages at the mo and it could all change yet!

Monday morning oh lala. I let the cyanotypes from

Monday morning oh lala. I let the cyanotypes from the river on Friday oxidise over the weekend. They are several layers now:
1. chemicals painted on and first exposed in the river
2. Rusty water splashed and splattered over the dry surface
3. Second layer of chemicals which I laid on after swimming in the river, then rinsed in the river too!
I have a lot of fun playing with these ideas and creating patterns and shapes by happenstance. If you would like to know the basics of creating cyanotype so you can go on and explore further I’ve made a free booklet. Sign up at my site and I’ll send it over to you 💙 Link in bio!

Cyanotype originally made in April and left in the studio since then. Yesterday I splashed it with rust water and today I added more cyanotype and took it to the river
No idea where I’m going but I’m enjoying the ride

How is it August so soon? I’ve been so obsessed

How is it August so soon?

I’ve been so obsessed with linocut in July, I want to take it a little easier for this month. But I’m excited too - new inks, new ideas and something else I’ll hopefully show you tomorrow. I also want to pick up 2 projects I’ve let slide recently and one of them is #oldbookrevival - this is the first drawing I’ve done in my book for a while.
If it reminds you of a mountain, that’s because I’m thinking of taking part in #areyoubookenough challenge this month too. I’m just playing with some ideas on the August theme of mountain. Maybe I will create some linocuts on the theme? Cyanotypes? We’ll see...
