Summer Reading

Is there anything quite as relaxing as reading on a summer afternoon? On the beach or poolside, being completely absorbed in a book is a true summer delight! This feeling inspired this collection of cyanotypes on altered books.

Each piece in Summer Reading features a botanical wet cyanotype print in shades of teal, blue, gold and brown. Collaged text, exposed binding, loose threads, and torn pages add interesting texture and rustic charm.

Upcycled vintage book covers “frame” each print giving new life to old volumes. Some of the quirky titles are borrowed from the books themselves. Each piece is mounted on a small canvas and “floats” on the wall. They do not require framing and are ready to hang.

find a cozy corner & curl up with a good book!
