Today I feel like doing something special. To create something different that normally. Maybe it was from yesterday, when I made those very nice ACEO cards. Still jumping when looking at them as a kid.

I was printing free prints for March today and I really like that photo. I though maybe I can do something even more different. As you may know I have made this month free print on Premium semigloss paper. from Epson. That paper I use normally when somebody liked to have little less mat surface and deeper blacks. I like that also very much on certain images. Especially big prints look very nice.
But I though this image deserve something even more special. It has that kind of old look. We used to play a lot on an Old Carousel. So I though print it wit carbon only to get little warm tone. Looked good but still I was something missing. Than I add those old paper edges to it. And as a last I use my old great Ilford Smooth Fine Art Paper. Bloody expensive but with very raw surface, almost like canvas. And that was IT.
Now I have two great prints. I had only last two papers on this kind I bought when I was experimenting on different papers about four years ago. Now I finally found a great use for it. Well what I should write more take a look on it:
