Fern fronds sweep across this cyanotype in long, gentle arcs, creating a soft sense of movement from top to bottom. Their fine leaflets show up clearly against deep blue tones, almost like they’re lifting and overlapping in slow motion. Above them, a single thin maple leaf and a small ginkgo leaf add a different kind of shape, lighter and more open.
Star shaped flowers drift through the background and keep the composition feeling playful without interrupting the calm flow of the ferns. The hand-applied chemistry leaves soft shifts of blue behind everything, giving the surface a quiet texture. Altogether, the mix of delicate ferns and simple floating shapes gives this piece a calm, drifting energy that feels a little different from the others.
This cyanotype measures 11 x 30 inches and is created on high-quality watercolor paper. Each piece is handmade by me and completely one-of-a-kind. It comes unframed, allowing you to choose the perfect frame for your space.
My recommendation for framing this piece is a shadowbox frame in white or natural wood, with a 2- to 3-inch mat. I suggest floating the artwork, meaning it’s mounted slightly above the mat board, fully showcasing its beautiful deckled edges and adding depth.
I always recommend working with your local framer when possible. If you're short on time or prefer ordering online, a great alternative is Simply Framed, where you'll find these framing options. For more detailed framing tips, please check out my framing guide.
This cyanotype artwork ships unframed and will be carefully packaged for safe delivery. Shipping costs $20 and typically takes 10 to 15 business days. As soon as your order is placed, I'll personally email you to confirm the shipping timeline and keep you updated every step of the way.
