Ferns



Something arty for the blog tonight.  Back in the summer, Amy ended up acquiring through work some light-sensitive paper which was otherwise nearing the end of its useful life, and decided to have a play with it during the summer hols.  It can basically be summed up as- put the paper in sunlight with something over the top of it to create a silhouette, time it carefully, then fix it by soaking it in water.


With plenty of fern leaves lying around near where we were staying (apparently uprooted by the gardeners), it seemed logical to use one of these as it would give an interesting silhouette.




Further experiments with line drawings from her sketchpad, copied onto acetate.


And finally something more abstract, using a repeated pattern of her origami bird designs in dark blue.
