Chrysanthemum Cyanolumen

Cut Chrysanthemum flowers well past their best so why not try using them for a cyanolumen? I had some Ilford Warmtone fibre based matt paper and thought it might take the cyanotype solution better. It does! All day exposure clamped under glass with sunlight hitting the frame for a few hours. I was amazed that the white flowers ended up with a translucent look. Vinegar liberally splashed on and flower heads well wetted.
