First print for 'Sunprint to Story'. The background is wet cyanotype onto which I have collaged a boat, a headdress, the coloured fish and added a face. The cyanotype strips are from previous projects. I used ChatGPT to mount the work on cold pressed paper with a deckle edge and it added the words "Mara travelled in a paper boat stitched together from maps, old letters, and scraps of forgotten stories. The boat glided lightly across the surface as though memory itself held it afloat. Above her, pale fish drifted through the sky like clouds searching for an ocean."

Time for some fun in a dream setting! These pieces are bisqued stoneware exposed with cyanotype, a little green tea toning and gouache. With a little help I've hung them in a beach house as that is my happy place!

Yesterday creative friends and I spent a fun day in my studio exploring the basics of cyanotype. Then we did some toning, a couple of double exposures and even the beginnings of a collage. It was totally enjoyable and very interactive! We were blessed with a perfect cloudless sky and a UV of 8. Here are just a few of the pieces we created ✨️ The Creative Pilgrim
