Cyanotype portraits
Giving old handkerchiefs new stories
Each custom portrait is created using the cyanotype process on a vintage handkerchief. Your piece can feature a beloved pet, a person, or both.
No two pieces will ever be exactly alike. Since these are vintage textiles and every cyanotype is made by hand, small variations, signs of age, and subtle imperfections may be present. I think that’s part of what makes each piece so special.
$150
Handkerchiefs come in small (about 6" × 6"), medium (about 8" × 8") and large (10" × 10" or larger).
Production time is about 1 to 2 weeks.
