I got a delivery of 200 cardboard slide mounts today. They're a slightly different proportion to a standard 35mm mount, the opening is squarer, which I really like, but they still measure just 2"x2". So of course I've spent the afternoon playing with them! Here's a finished piece that has a transparency backed by text in it. When it's backlit the text becomes fully visible giving it a little element of surprise and the reverse of the mount is decorated too. I'll be listing it later tonight on eBayI'd love to know what you think, leave me a comment if you'd like to!
I love it! I think the coloured stamping on the mount itself is lovely. I rather like the way you do those edges, BTW. And the central, element is beautiful - wish we could see the text, but I like the fact that it is to be a surprise. I agree, the squarer aperture is much better.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing many more of these!

Oh yes, I like this too. I love the mount itself, with the printing and the contrast with the face is great. It makes me want to play with cardboard mounts too!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice! I love your color choices!
ReplyDeleteWoooo ... very nice!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! This is a beautiful piece - great use of transparencies. This is the type of art I'd probably carry around with me all the time, just so I can hold it up to the light when I'm out and enjoy it whenever I want :)
ReplyDeleteThank you folks, I'm making more, can't stop myself!!
