Two days ago I spent the afternoon cutting mats for the photography transfers, then cutting the non-glare glass and framing them out. Yesterday I finished up putting the paper backing on all five of the pictures and writing up the description of the transfer process (authenticity labels). This is what reads on the back:
"This original piece of artwork is "one of a kind". It originally starts out from a photo (either film or digital) and is printed onto transfer paper, then pressed onto 140 lb watercolor paper, and the ink is then worked on with water color brushes. Some pictures may have additional water colors added to enhance even more. The artwork has been matted with 4-ply museum quality mat board and non-glare glass. Avoid exposing the print to extreme heat or place on a heat bearing wall."
Today I will submit them for the jury process and hopefully they 'get in'! I don't see why not, but one never knows. I have one more transfer in the works which is a close up of a rose from the garden. My next gig will be to go back into the darkroom and work on more photos from Yosemite and Bodie Ghost Town.
I'm posting one of the black and white photo transfers so you can see the difference between the color and B&W transfers.
