Shoes on the Subway, Paper and Wood Earrings

Description

These earrings are cropped original prints mounted on very thin -only 1/8"- pieces of quality salvaged scrap wood. The image is from illustrations I drew while riding on BART trains in San Francisco.

They are printed by me on my fancy Epson Stylus Photo R2400, on Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte Paper, so both the paper and the ink are archival grade.

The print is then mounted with Ph neutral adhesive onto the wood, then triple spray coated with a clear satin protective finish. I also protect the paper by painting a clear matte sealant on any exposed edges.

They are incredibly light, and I only use sterling silver hooks and rings. Please make a note if you require different hooks.

The earrings will ship wrapped in a plastic sleeve within a padded envelope or small box, re-using whatever clean packaging materials I have collected or saved.

Even though I have taken precautions to ensure the longevity of this piece, please be mindful of the effects direct sunlight or excessive moisture may have on it. (no swimming or showering with them on preferrably!!)
