Hi Judy...yep, that late renewal is in my category too...what do you need to
tell me about my subscription to Ohio?
another topic, i went to an art show this week where the
photographer/graphic artist had about fifteen, 5 by 7 prints that looked
digital but nice that were covered with about a quarter inch layer of wax
that went smoothly across the top and around all sides of the wooden
frame...parts of the image that he wanted you to notice first were under a
thinner layer so they were brighter and clearer to your eye--no one else was
in the gallery but myself so i took one down to examine...carefully of
course...the wood frame was almost two inches wide all around with a back
center opening maybe 4 by 5 with wood(maybe balsam) visible as the substrate
for the image on the front side...eyebolts and wire were the handing
method..placed inside the opening on the back so actually the print hung flat
on the wall........do you have any source for instructions on something like
this? there was no data sheet in the gallery on what type of wax he used or
if others are doing this--i know him and he's not the type to share knowledge.
my best idea is candle wax, melted in a large pan and the print is
attached to the balsam wood base, the base attached to the wider wood frame
and the whole thing is turned upside down and dipped into the liquid wax, you
could hold it by the small eyebolts attached inside the opening on the
back---no wax was on the back anywhere
i would love to try this...he just called it mixed media---ever seen it?
thanks again, Barb Murdock...6212 County Road 2, Chesapeake, OH 45619
