No printer, no camera, no scaling up. Each of these is an original contact print, not a digital reproduction, so the dandelion seed head on the paper is exactly life size.
Choose from four original, one-of-a-kind cyanotype sun prints in the series, each of a single dandelion seed head. A seed head like this is often called a clock, so technically you're buying a clock that never needs a battery.
I painted the emulsion onto the paper by hand. I collected and pressed the specimens from my garden, my conservation property or my field work as an ecologist (under permit), and I reuse specimens where I can.
It arrives mounted, so all you need is a standard frame. A great first original artwork or keepsake gift, or choose two or more and make a wall of wishes.

Care
Cyanotype is archival and can last for centuries. Keep it out of direct sunlight. UV-protective glass is best, but not essential. If the blue ever fades a little, put the artwork somewhere dark overnight and it will recover.
