I love to experiment. Different plants create dramatically different colours. Leaves can be crushed, berries juiced, and peels boiled.

Anthotypes from Alumroot after 6 days in the sun. Made from positives.

I am really happy with this plant! Vibrant, with a relatively short exposure. It's a keeper!

I like combinations (bird stencils & plants). For “Clothes Encounter with Birds”, I used Alumroot - not previously in the World Anthotype Day database. The event is about collaborating and growing our database of emulsions. Can you find a new one?
