This is a signed original cyanotype on A4 acid-free 100 percent cotton rag, with deckled edges.
It was made by coating paper with a photosensitive substance, and exposing the paper to a few hours of rainfall. The marks left behind are therefore organically made, with no interference on my part. Afterwards, the paper was washed and dried, and an acid-free hand-made tissue paper chin colle was applied to tell a complete story. The golden frog was coloured on with Posca marker. Note: Due to runoff, there may be some light stains of blue in the margins of the image.
This print will fit in a standard off-the-shelf A3 frame. It will be shipped without a frame, with hard backing and wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and cellophane sleeve.
I suggest you should hang or stand the frame away from sunlight, as cyanotypes have a tendency to fade with sunlight. You could also frame under UV-resistant glass. Ideally, there should be a mat acting as a spacer between the frame and the image - air circulation is good for cyanotypes. But don't worry: if you want to expose the rough edges as in one of the pictures above, you can go ahead and mount onto the backing board.
Most cyanotypes last a really long time, and if there is any fading, just put away in the dark and bring it out again when the colour is restored.
Hope you enjoy your purchase!
