Mouldy

I attempted to dry some fuchsia flowers under weighted books before we went away. They have not so much dried as become rather mouldy and smelly! I think they were a bit too thick and too wet.
I was hoping to use them for cyanotypes. 
They’ve gone a strange colour too! Hence why I’ve converted it to mono, from the manky brown mess I  found at the big reveal today.
Always interesting to experiment though.
