If you're only doing a few for display, you can always recycle failed prints face down, where they won't be seen.<br /><br />Or, you could go to thicker sheets of board.<br />Eli Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788192952510456972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-45522432996399365142014-05-10T17:28:18.339-04:002014-05-10T17:28:18.339-04:00Thank you, Andrew!

These will be much safer to ship than frames would be, but the package will probably weigh 25 pounds or so.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-90017167459791549912014-05-10T16:44:01.521-04:002014-05-10T16:44:01.521-04:00Nerve-wracking process to be experimenting with fi...Nerve-wracking process to be experimenting with finished works...but I think they look wonderful. Thanks for posting your progress....it makes eventual experimentation for us a little easier.<br />Now you'll need to factor is the added labor, materials, shipping, etc. on pricing. <br />Hope you sell the set.Andrew Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184272649874888854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-54146249203772035642014-05-10T13:43:03.305-04:002014-05-10T13:43:03.305-04:00Melody, I'll bet you're right about that. ...Melody, I'll bet you're right about that.

I know that when I'm building a collagraph on a heavy cardboard substrate or even a Masonite board, I always coat the back with gesso first so that when I glue materials to the front there won't be any warping.Could apply for your project as well.Melody Knight Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368598069864101799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-63653653742170913492014-05-09T21:11:31.117-04:002014-05-09T21:11:31.117-04:00Glad you found these posts interesting, Elizabeth....Glad you found these posts interesting, Elizabeth. Moku hanga printer Andrew Stone once posted a photo of himself wearing two sets of glasses, so I guess all the kids are doing it. Love your headlamp idea!

I have also worn a headlamp for extra illuminating.Elizabeth Buseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813662752851915972noreply@blogger.com
