It was handmade and fired in a kiln at high temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image used to create cyanotypes on both sides of the necklace represent fragments of an original fantasy-themed digitally created graphic illustration piece. The sun printing was performed in Brittany, France under the rays of the sun reaching the area on the 19th of October, 2024. The cyanotype technique is a handmade process allowing the development of an image using a combination of chemical dye and sunlight. The invention of this method is attributed to John Frederick William Hershel, an astronomer, and physicist, who introduced cyanotypes in the 1800s. The term 'cyanotype' is derived from the Greek κυάνεος - kuáneos, “dark blue” + τύπος - túpos, “mark, impression, type”. In contrast to traditional photography using silver salt, cyanotypes implement a slow-reacting formulation containing iron salt which results in the illustrious Prussian Blue color upon exposure to near-ultraviolet and blue light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo different image fragments were used resulting in the 'two-in-one\" necklace. The porcelain piece was finished with a herbal dying tint. The necklace is assembled using high-quality metal findings from Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach item from my shop will be sent to you in individually designed handmade packaging with a description tag.
