weekend sun & sunprints


i spent a lot of time in the sun this weekend: in my backyard, at the farmer’s market, on my bike, across town, and outside some great echo park coffee shops. i love that summer in LA starts in april.

i finally played with some sunprint paper that i had bought a few months ago. this simple photo paper captures the shadow of objects in bright light. it’s a fun art/science that is perfect for a sunny afternoon. i experimented with an assortment of buttons, bread tags, and backyard plants for some simple little prints. check out more inspiring sunprints at anna atkins and boomslice and rinneallen.

hope you took advantage of some sunshine over your weekend.

    Lillie, your sun prints are so fun! It’s like the first sunny, kind of warm day here in a while. I definitely would love to try my hand making sun prints sometime soon. Thanks for the shout out! I loved your answers :)
