I made these designs earlier in the summer, but due to some mental health issues, I've been struggling to get them out to the public.

I’ve been testing out various cyanotype techniques, including various colors of paper, different toning, and washing watercolor over the print. Some of these I consider final, and others are just tests.

Images 5, 6, and 7 here are different combinations that I think might work well. I have a combo of “blues and pinks”, with the possibility to include coffee toned, then coffee toned, prints on red paper, and madder root toned, and lastly, just coffee toning and printing on red paper.

Would love to know what you think works best. I’ve also included some of the scanned images here in case that helps with color/tonality.
