This Cyanotype was made on Watercolour paper, that was not fully dry from being coated with light sensitive solution. These Cosmos flowers were so pretty in the garden I was hoping for an equally pretty Photogram and seeing those lovely bright blue petals with purpley centers, was a lovely surprise, the whispy foliage looks a bit 3 dimensional to me and gives the scene a lightness. Originally from China, Kosumosu (Cosmos) grows in vast fields in Japan, the flower shape is similar to the Cherry (Sakura) Blossom and so is known as Autumn Sakura. This Photogram would look wonderful in your home at any time of year!
