This is the same little flower from last week. But now put into a bottle … into a jar, but bottle made for the better title. This is an example of a whole series that I work on. There is a lot you can find in your backyard … and beyond.

As you can see, it is kallitype time again. This is such a wonderful process and the scans just do not hold up very well with the real print. And it is something that you do not have to have a darkroom set up for. So I only can encourage people: Try it out, it is fun and the results will surprise you.

For those interested in what I put into the jar, the flower at the top is a heliopsis (in Germany we call it Sonnenauge which maybe can be translated into suns eye) and on the right we have an elder flower. We use those elder flowers to make a syrup which you put a little bit into your mineral water … tasty. And on the left you see a “bottled” honeysuckle.

I hope you like those images because there are more to come.
