One of Cidne's passions is natural history museums, the funkier the collection, the better. She has been photographing them and using the images. Add to that images of trees and plants. Mix up a batch of cyanotype chemicals (the same formula from 1842), coat tea bags, expose, develop, and tone some in natural dyes. Pure alchemy. Stitch them together to hang and dance in a breeze.
Please see the explanation below of the cyanotype and the sewing processes.
Each twelve-tea bag thread collage is 12" x 23" and will each sell for $250 (plus shipping).
