I talked about lamination of my prints and how easy it is to frame them this way. Wellllll…. I sold a really big hugh 30×40 inches photograph of my Old Blue Chevy with the WaterTank..
Talk about exciting….., to sell something this big was a gas!!!! And then when I told her about having it laminated, she was all for it, as long as the colors didn’t suffer.
Me and My Old Blue Chevy with WaterTank as a 30x40
And She LOVES it, hers that is. “Super love this amazing photo! We are very happy with the lamination process, you barely know it’s there. This photo is awesome this large, and is the focal piece of our country chic master bedroom!!! Photos to follow soon 
) Thanks CheyAnne!” Is her feedback.
and she also told me
“Received my print yesterday and it is stunning!!!! I cant wait to hang it. I can’t tell if it is laminated or not, but the front feels texturally different from the back. If this is the lamination, it beautifully preserves the photo!”
It was so gorgeous really big like this, ssooo……Me and my honey had to have one too!
You can touch them and love them and they can withstand lots of elements. All archival and wonderful to behold.
I taped it onto the wall with clear packing tape and plan on fitting molding right on top of the tape, to make it look like a standard, altho Very Large frame with a back, but it won’t need any backing. We did notice that when you take it out of the container you better have a super flat big area to unroll it and hang it right away. It can get kinks in it and so far those little mistakes look like part of the bangs and dings in the old truck, but I wouldn’t want one in the sky. It would probably show up too easily. So we hung it right away.
Leonardo is so in love with this one, he can't wait for the next one.
We think it will be this one
old teal blue Chevy rusty
or maybe
Old Blue Chevy in the Field
and I really like this view
Old Blue Chevy in the Snow
Are there any of them that are your favorite? I could do this for you too.

Thank you Sarah in Arizona, for making this possible. It’s definitely a big one for me.

she’s really coming along. I was a little scared to add her little eye, but I’m feeling good about her. Still quite a little ways to go. But soon she will join her sister of February
and my first try at uploading a video, very tiny, like 5 seconds or something
WaterColor “Springtime She Cardinal”
videos are more ways of getting the news out and something new to learn.
here is a very rough photograph of her progress as she comes alive.
WaterColour of "SpringTime she Cardinal" 11x14
This photograph of the little girl herself is from Kate over on her incredibly talented blog. full of life, amazing captures with their camera she shares with her husband, and their dog named George.
check her out on “Chronicles of a Country Girl”
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne❧

floating above the frame glass
When I traded some lovely photos of female Cardinals for my Heart Tree print, I was super excited. I have loved this photograph for as long as I’ve been following her blog. www.http://chroniclesofacountrygirl.blogspot.com/ I was even more enamored when I was able to have the print on my wall and see all the nuisances in this beautiful little bird. Her subtle orange/red copatone (big cap) and her bright fiery beak just screamed watercolor, paint a watercolour. So I did (with Kate’s permission of course).
The Original painting SOLD before I was finished (how blessed I am) to my long lost cousin to be a gift for my Aunt June. I am just amazed by the turn of events this little bird brought.
floated, laminated and hung
This is a unique way of framing her. I have a new idea for you if you are interested. My printer guy laminates (professionally) (Not like what you think lamination is) this is an amazing process that makes the piece so durable and you can NOT see the difference between one that is and one that isn’t laminated. It’s that good, anyway….. then he puts it on foam core and it can sit on the outside of a glass frame. You can buy an 8×10 giclee, in an 11×14 frame and it sits on the outside of the glass. You never have to take the frame apart unless you want to change the color of the matte underneath the glass. So this lovely piece sits on the outside of the glass and “floats”. What do you think.?
Giclees are so wonderfully like the real painting that it is hard to distinguish between the original painting and the reproduction. This process allows a buyer to purchase (at a reduced price) a quality, archival print that can be framed and hung with the appearance of an original watercolor painting.
ϔ⤷ This piece is a beautiful Professionally Printed, Crane Museo Max, premium archival, acid-free, 100% cotton-rag giclee and laminated.
The Crane papers do not use any optical brighteners to enhance the white point of the paper and it gives you the richest blacks and the whitest whites. I love this paper Ῠ.
❧100 years in typical home display, 200 years in dark storage, 1 to 5 years for commercial display
❧ Edges are torn like original watercolor paper. It adds a very unique feel for the whole piece.
❉ 4 to 7 day turn around time on this, not including weekends, altho I will always get it
❀ 〪〭 printed and out just as quickly as I can and will let you know what to expect.

if you would like more info just ask
Colors in monitors are always different and this one just can’t convey the beauty here. So rich and deep and vibrant. she really is amazing and the yellows in this computer thing aren’t quite so yellow, the reds and oranges really pop and the purple behind her if very rich.
