The wet cyanotypes create more colors than classic white and blue. The chemical reactions possible through tweaks to the original process are just waiting to be discovered. 

P.S. Anybody who needs a decently cheap Holiday Present should check out Krista's Etsy Page. It will not disappoint.
The amount of Cyanotype artists in the world are astounding, even more astounding is the fact that so many people are pushing an old technique in so many new ways. Krista McCurdy is one of these artists. I first saw her on Instagram (@kristamccurdy) In the Summer months she was making Wet Cyanotypes. which is a technique she developed. Winter has lead her back to making collages and connects the different pieces with lines and circles.

The Next Chapter

Post Grad life has been filled with moving to Salt Lake City, Utah and creating a small studio in the basement of our charming rental house. 
In it, I have been scouring Natural Color: Vibrant Plant Dye Projects for Your Home and Wardrobe by Sasha Duerr for ideas on new experiments.
Continuing on the path of bones, I am going to try to use Yellow Onion Peels, Rose Petals, Turmeric, and of course cyanotype images to create geometric prints on the many bones we've found in Utah. The flora of Utah's desert and mountainous landscape is beautiful and will make unique prints different from the exact images I tried to produce for my thesis.
Cheers,
​Lexi
