I just decided. You should print this on Vellum, and put it in a window. Like all three. In separate 8x10 frames. Or something like that.

vellum? as in the skin? hmmm Well I want them in separate frames, for sure. Actually, I want them in a custom frame; three panes all in the same frame. like a nice rosewood frame. hehe.

That would be nice. There's a paper called vellum (I believe derived from plant skin originally, but this new stuff is artificial). It's clean, translucent, and clear enough to see things through it. A little. Basically, changing clounds and sky colors would tint your image as the day goes on. Cool stuff.

vellum is traditionally an animal hide stretched over wood for a canvas, many painters used it back in the day. It has a nice quality for self-portraiture and brought out the supposed translucence in skin tones. Didn't know they still made it, but i'm sure they make a synthetic version of it now. It sounds expensive lol Costco paper will do just fine for me for now hahah

Well, this stuff is synthetic, for sure. Not suuuper cheap, but it's in home-printer sized sheets, and it's cheaper than home-printer photo paper.
