Fern fronds drift across this cyanotype in soft, layered patterns, each leaflet showing clear detail against the shifting blues. The background moves through deep blue and gentle teal, and you can see the hand-brushed strokes from applying the mixed chemicals, giving the whole piece a subtle painterly feeling.
The way the ferns overlap creates a slow, steady rhythm, almost like they’re floating on calm water. The brushed edges and soft gradients add warmth and movement, making the whole cyanotype feel light, balanced, and full of quiet motion.
This cyanotype measures 22 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.
