Heres a project with many uses. Some photos lend themselves to
special treatment. A vignetted country scene, a bouquet of flowers in a
vase, or a favorite photo digitally enhanced to resemble a pastel or water color when printed on old parchment presents an interesting and
artistic form suitable for framing.
Eight and one half by eleven paper comes in ninety weight parchment or
heavy cover stock in cream or white are good subjects for the parchment
treatment. Prepare a tray of strong tea and soak the paper one sheet at
a time in the tea. Additional dunkings along the edges further enhance
the aged look. Dry the sheets overnight between weighted flat cardboard
or blotters. For a torn edge look, fill a tray with one half inch of water and add a few drops of dish detergent. Wet one half inch of edge all around each sheet, place on a pine board and witha wire brush (electric drill or by hand). Roughly scrape away the edges. Dry the seets under blotters to prevent curling.
The photograph may then be spray glued to the center of the parchment
and ironed flat or the parch ment can already be printed from a digital file on your hard drive. A coat of spray lacquer will protect the ink. Frame in an oversized frame without a mat.
Other uses include a scroll-like declaration, a wedding announcement,
a party invitation, an alternative Thank You Card, or a Pledge of Love for
Valentines Day. Youd better make a lot of them. Dare to be different.
