Thrilled to have some cyanotypes (some with encaustic) at the locally-owned Artifact store (5th Ave., Courtenay BC)! As the store's website notes, it "values human craft and the longevity of garments and objects made with quality workmanship. We carry products that are handmade in Canada...."

"Winter's Rest" will be in a show at the Pearl Ellis Gallery (Comox, BC March 4-29). I was struggling with the weight of too much white & dark blue on the left until my partner suggested turning it 90 deg! Duh! 12"x12" encaustic/cyanotype

Note to self....Leave the muddy dog in the car when experimenting with #cyanotypes outdoors.

Wrapped up another encaustic & double exposed cyanotype, with a photo transfer. Zoom in to see subtle circles in background on left. Haven't come up with a title yet though so suggestions welcome! 8"x8"

Lovely image. You might want to try avocado skins and pits to get some lovely pinks (upper right corner of this piece). This piece also includes 2 bleached ones (different amounts), 2 toned with fenugreek (different levels of bleaching first), and others with black tea, coffee and matcha tea.

Capturing waves & snow (for #cyanotype experiments) all on the same day! That's life on the west coast!
More experiments in my future, all inspired by the upcoming "Ebb and Flow" submission deadline at the Pearl Ellis Gallery in a couple of weeks.

My diptych "Round and Round We Go" is currently showing at the Comox Airport (YQQ) as part of the Regeneration show. It's on display in the check-in area until the end of April. 12"x24", #encaustic over #wetcyanotype.

Absolutely! Love the textures and colour variation. Often my first layer is a wet cyanotype, and sometimes it is then bleached a bit to get more yellows and oranges (and then greens) before recoating and exposing as a dry one... if that makes sense. Some have three exposures overall.

Setting up my Bluesky art profile in preparation for the jump from IG. But I am still figuring out how to get my feed to be mostly art that I am interested in as I have on IG. Anyone started an Encaustic starter pack or cyanotype one? Not clear on how to do that myself quite yet!
