I then sent it off for special processing (don't use a regular lab, it will mess up their chemistry) and these are the results.
I'm finding that in general, dish soap, which is a base, gives a very different vibe than lemon/lime juice, which is an acid.

Welcome to part 5 of my series where I share images altered by the film soup process. These were taken on 35mm Kodak film, with an Olympus OM10 camera. After finishing the roll, I soaked the film canister in a solution of water with a bit of dish soap for 24 hrs., drained it, and let it dry .

Spending a rainy afternoon stitching french knots on wool tweed. It’s slow but satisfying work. #slowstitch #handembroidery #frenchknots

I hadn’t done a cyanotype print from a photo for a while, but I still remember how. 10” x 12” on cotton sateen. #sealskull #cyanotype #blueprint #altphotography

The white mulberry, which I come across much more frequently, is an invasive that was introduced here to feed caterpillars for the silk industry. The two are now frequently cross-breeding. The leaves of the red are much larger than the white, and the shapes are wonderful for printing with.

Welcome to part 98 of my ongoing experiments with the wet cyanotype process. In this post I continue my mini-obsession with red mulberry leaves. The red mulberry, Morus rubra, is the native tree here in the eastern US.

The mix was mostly cyanotype chemicals with just a splash of Jacquard solarfast solar dyes.
I then prepped 3 smaller panels with the same setup, and I still had some leaves to play with, so I did some panels on mineral paper.
I am very happy with the finished prints! #wetcyan #cyanotype #blueprint

Welcome to part 97 of my documented experiments in wet cyanotype printing. I started this project in June of 2017, and it has continued to hold my interest over the intervening years.
I began this batch with a large branch of red mulberry leaves on a cotton sateen panel.

About the Susquehanna: Archaeology of the Lower Susquehanna River reveals that American Indians had utilized its resources for thousands of years. Around 1550 AD, the people we know as the Susquehannock moved from higher up the river to the Lower Susquehanna Valley. Thy were Iroquoian speakers.

Sunday Spotlight: I've spent a lot of my life closely observing the natural world along the Susquehanna River, and yes, it really does show up in my dreams. In this work, it serves as an allegory for a world where all is in balance and beauty abounds.
