Even More Botanical Prints

I’m still using soy milk and iron blankets to print these papers. It’s interesting to see how the various plant materials act with the same treatment. This time I reduced the steaming time to one hour. I don’t see a significant difference in the printing with the reduced time. Click on an image for a larger view.

The top row is rosemary sprigs. Two of the sprigs had a couple blossoms on them but the blossoms didn’t come through in the printing process.  Bottom row left are two prints using weeping cedar. The 3rd print in the bottom row is so pale. I’m wondering if it’s just the plant reaction. I don’t know the name of the plant.

All of these prints were produced using the same methods. Top row #2 is a eucalyptus leaf. A tiny heart! I couldn’t resist it. Bottom row left is a sprig of blackberry leaves. Quite orange.
