Fern fronds fill this cyanotype in soft, overlapping layers, creating a light, airy pattern from top to bottom. The background shifts through deep blue and gentle teal, with visible brushstrokes from hand-applying the chemicals that give the surface a subtle painterly texture.
A few small botanicals are tucked between the fronds, but the focus stays on the sweeping fern shapes and the quiet movement they create. The way the blues blend and the fronds drift together gives the whole piece a peaceful, floating feeling.
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.
