T i P S + T R i C K S
Photographic art print - good to knows
In general you will find a mark on the parcel where it would be best to start the unwrapping process. Please be careful with knifes and
scissors to not harm yourself but also to avoid cutting too deep into the parcel.
Make sure all tape and maybe dirty packaging is moved out of the way before you start to unwrapping your print.
To avoid damage it is particularly important to handle everything with clean dry hands or maybe cotton gloves. The oils from your hands can effect the PH of the paper and even reduce archival
qualities.
For straight/envelope shipped prints please gently remove the print from the cellophane sleeve taking special care that the sticky side of the sleeve does not make contact with the art print.
For tube shipped prints please prepare a clean flat surface where the print can rest for 24 hours.
Take the print carefully out of the tube by sliding it onto the prepared surface. Now gently take off the protecting thin paper. Be careful not to bend the rolled paper as these
creases will be permanent. You will feel that the print is moving to unroll itself, be careful with pressure or force as it may leave permanent marks.
Please don't put anything on top or pull on it - it is the best to just let it rest for a bit. Once the print has flattened / is straight again it is ready for framing and to be enjoyed.
Concrete sculptures and vessels - good to knows
Once your concrete sculpture is dry it will have the strength of and behave like terracotta or air-dried pottery. Water and rapid temperature changes will always be an enemy and your concrete art will age, change and interact with it's surroundings. Over time the colour will change or cracks occur.
Most of the concrete creations are not sealed and can't handle water very well. This is great when they are used with Air Plants as these plants and the concrete interact in a similar way with their surroundings. However, if you wish to use it with a different plant or as a vase which holds water you need to seal it.
Many tips and more concrete adventures can you find on my Blog section 'How Concrete'
Air Plant - good to knows
Yes, it is a living plant. It is floating if you like as it is soil free.
Yes, they can bloom and are easy to care for. All you need is love, water and good ventilation.
