The dog’s name was Jake, Anthotype on Pansy

Penelope places paper permeated in a perfect potion of purple pigmented pansy petals and patiently practices a photographic process.

But it was not Penelope, it was Christine.

Christine coats card in a classic concoction of colourful cultivars, and calmly creates… hmm… an Anthotype.

Yes. An Anthotype, it would have been better if she was called Annie; “Annie’s Anthotypes” has a nice ring to it. 

In April Annie amasses an abundance of amazing amethyst anthers and afterward achieves an awesome Anthotype.

Except she really used the petals and not the anthers, the anthers are tiny part of the flower. 

There was a woman called Christine, in springtime she made a light sensitive emulsion using pansy flowers, she treated paper with it, then she covered the prepared paper with a negative and left it in the sunlight for ages. The result is called an Anthotype. It is a very cool process which creates charming results. There’s a dog in the picture. The dog’s name was Jake.
