What this ebook covers

This ebook focuses on composition, helping you turn leaves, flowers, and stems into cohesive cyanotype designs with a polished decorative style. It is ideal for readers who want to move beyond basic experimentation and develop a stronger visual eye.

• Principles of arrangement: balance, contrast, negative space, layering, and scale
• Plant selection for design: choosing forms with strong outlines, delicate textures, and complementary shapes
• Layout approaches: single-specimen studies, repeating motifs, border arrangements, and gallery-style compositions
• Background and surface choices: how paper tone, texture, and format affect the final look
• Decor-focused projects: ideas for creating prints suited to home styling and gifting

It offers a calm, design-led approach to making botanical cyanotypes that feel intentional, elegant, and personal.
