WHAT I DID: I did more experimenting with mixing vellum and plexi. Here is the magazine transfer I did onto glass with acylic gel:

Here is the laser printed transfer i did onto plexiglass which has a piece if vellum behind it:


WHAT I DISCOVERED is that I like the distressed look but I don't like the texture that the gel makes against the glass which can be seen at certain angles:


I also found that my images looked more vibrant and less washed out if I doubled up the vellum prints:



I played with different ways to attach vellum prints to plexiglass. This one is spray adhesive:



This one is modge podge:



I definitely like the look of that texture more, but it's still not what I want. I'm thinking the only way to avoid that effect all together is to sandwich the vellum print between glass without attaching it with any substance.

I also did a photo shoot this week but I'm not happy with the images so I want to redo them.

WHAT'S NEXT: To play with different ways to apply the acrylic gel in order to reduce the texture effect. Also, I have begun trying to make cubes out of plexiglass so that I can figure out what glues work/look the best and how thick the plexi needs to be/how the light looks inside it etc.
