cyanotype samples

It’s been a while since I’ve experimented with textiles purely for the joy of finding out something new. I’ve been so inspired by my workshop attendees that I thought I’d get printing for myself more and that I’d try to post more regular snippets of what I get up to here in the studio.

cyanotype samples on silk, linen and cotton

These are small samples made on silk, cotton and linen using gingko and bamboo leaves and some unidentified beauties.

The next image is the pre-rinse and post-rinse of the bamboo and mystery leaves. I love the quirky design of this and it’s one of those prints that I could never recreate exactly

Making these small fabric samples this weekend has kickstarted my creativity again and I’m itching to get making more. Hopefully these will eventually translate into textile designs for my products here at the Cyan Studio.
