I'm a passionate photographer. I was, anyway. I didn't fully appreciate this line of artistry until I stepped into a dark room. Unfortunately, the space between me and my work has been separated by a mouse and a monitor for too long. Did I mention the uncomfortable desk and inappropriate chair? I'd rather be outside, moving, taking pictures or making prints.
Making prints? Outside?
Big, beautiful photos printed on fine paper are a wonder to behold, but there are a couple of problems with that equation. 1. I'm sending the image to a lab, so I don't have the joy of printing myself. 2. The expense of printing, matting, mounting, and framing numerous pieces also has a joy reducing effect.
Image transfer to the rescue.
The top is going to need some work. Good thing I just broke my finishing sander.
I had to remove the legs of this vanity (in the rain) before I could slip it in the back seat. It's so shabby, I may have to do this one next.
I'm definitely going to have to sand off the black dragon.
Again with the particle board! A thick layer had to be scraped off the back, as it was already swelling and falling off.
I really just grabbed it for the legs. If the vinyl stays on and I can seal the back I may attempt a transfer. It is square, and that's a rare find.
Some sanding and linseed oil brought a real richness to the legs. I filled the holes and hit the top with quite a few layers of satin white.
The image has been picked and printed. Just waiting for the ink to dry...
