Blue Mono Printing and the Midnight Garden

A bit of a printing fest going on this week, and it's all a bit blue!  I've continued with the mono printing from last week but changed the colours to suit my midnight garden theme - I seem to come round to that each summer as I really do love the muted colours and beautiful shapes of my garden as it goes from dusk into night.    




The bright sunshine we've been having has meant I can get some more cyanotype printing done - topping up my stash for card making and collages - always a favourite activity!

 

  I've also been running low on notecards so I have printed off another run of them using some of these photos of old and new cyanotype prints. I need to trim them all up - about 30 in total - a job I don't enjoy so we'll see if it gets done by next week - I'm betting it doesn't!!



I'm linking up with Julia over at WOYWW this week.

  1. Your work desk is a thing of beauty this week! I mean, it always is but all these blues make me happy, my favourite colour in such beautiful designs…the fern cyanotype has to be my pick of the bunch though, gorgeous!

  4. You cannot go wrong with blue. It can take on so many different views - dreamy, clean, strong, etc. Everything works and these prints of yours are absolutely beautiful. And I do mean beautiful. I can just imagine the beautiful cards you make with these and they would also make beautiful calendars too. The kind that have a picture for each month.

  5. Hi Diana, thanks for the lovely comment over at mine you always make me smile. Gorgeous projects today, I so love that beautiful blue. I am feeling slightly guilty when I see you doing Mono Printing, I so love it but just find it difficult to stop once I start and I know it's a useless excuse. Have a lovely creative woyww.

  8. I have to try this - I absolutely love the results you've got. you could just mount them as is, they don't need anything else doing to them. Have a cyanotype-tastic week! Happy WOYWW Helen #1

  9. Beautiful cards Diana, and I won’t be checking to see if you’ve done the trimming, I am so not in any position, can’t even offer advice about motivating yourself to do a job you don’t like!
