RE: Picture on metal

Slide images made into Polaroid prints and then doing an emulsion lift can
be very successful. Afterwards they can be sprayed with lacquer. I'm not
sure of the archival qualities but they adhere to mostly anything.

I've never gotten emulsion lifting to work too well. I've done it
with bleach and canvas and of course its a one shot deal :) But it
shows promise! (I have lifted a faint image a few times doing it).
Don't try it with your prized pulitzer 4x5's :)

I have done emulsion onto wood and glass but never metal..metal is
next..right now i'm doing chloryphyll (sp!) exposures before the
leaves all change and I don't have any more sunlight (i'm in Vermont
so..)

:)
