The healer

The original design (right) was inspired by a prompt from illustrator Carson Ellis when she hosted Transmundane Tuesday on Instagram: a goat carrying a stick.

I drew the negative with India ink and used leaves from my yard that were suffering from some sort of disease. I used a cotton ball to apply the chemicals.

This resulted in a beautifully soft image. The second image (left) was created a year later with the same negative! I think that is so cool that different leaves and plants can be added to this base negative. Pardon me while I geek out on cyanotype illustration!
