Cyanotype Ornament - a sea “Chinese violet and Begonia” isThese original cyanotype ornaments were created from the native plants I found while hiking the high alpine trails of Colorado. Each unique print is encased in a bright gold frame between layers of glass and hangs from a gold link chain. Ornaments are wrapped individually in gold speckled tissue paper and placed in a gold foiled pouch. My signature and the creation year are on each print's back. Dimensions: Hexagon shape, 3. 75"w x 3. 5"h Square
