Cyanotype Originals Inspired by the Rhythm of Beach Living
Welcome to Bloemen & Blue, an independent Wiltshire studio specialising in hand-coated, sun-exposed originals. Using the alchemy of the sun alongside a unique vinegar and baking soda wash, I shift classic Prussian blues into warm, organic shades that capture the effortless calm of coastal interiors.
"...the blue at the far edge of what can be seen. That colour of horizons, of remote mountain ridges, of anything far away....The colour of there seen from here, the colour of where you are not and the colour of where you can never go" — Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
