Jill Welham: Commissions
Would you like something more personal?
You can commission me to make a cyanotype print which is truly personal to you. It can be a plant, flower, or leaf that has a special meaning for you. Something from your own garden or preserve the memory from a beautiful bouquet such as a birthday or wedding. From a single leaf or flower to a full bouquet I can create a cyanotype to capture a special memory.
If you have a special garment, perhaps an old family heirloom or something new but important such as a christening gown or wedding veil, I can create blue and white cyanotype prints from those too. They won't be damaged in the process and it's a great way to display an object that would otherwise be hidden away in a cupboard or drawer. Size limitations mean that it may only be a section of a garment but please do contact me to discuss your requirements.

Christening Gown My client requested a cyanotype image of their mother's christening gown. It was a 90 year old family heirloom that had been hidden away in storage for years. I was able to create a series of images including the under-petticoat, lace dress and a combined image of the two together. My client was delighted with the end result which was given to their mother as a 90th birthday gift. Cyanotype photogram on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag paper 56 x 76 cm |
Wedding Bouquet
I was honoured to be asked to create a series of cyanotypes of a beautiful wedding bouquet. My client had been unable to attend their niece's wedding due to Covid-19 restrictions but wanted a cyanotype print of the bouquet to give to the happy couple as a wedding present. As so few guests had been allowed to attend the wedding the bride was happy to pass on the bouquet immediately after the wedding and I was able to create a series of cyanotypes which meant that other members of the family could have a print too.

Brides Veil
I was asked to create a cyanotype photogram of a bridal veil, the wedding had taken place during the Covid-19 pandemic and they were unable to share their day with as many guests as they had originally planned. The veil was a beautifully embroidered net with tiny sequins and very detailed floral embroidery along the bottom edge. It was a very long veil so I was unable to capture the full length. However, a cyanotype is capable of recording the minutest detail and the beautiful embroidery has been captured in this stunning print. Cyanotype on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag paper 76 x 56 cm |
