Aqua Astronaut - Glass Laser Hologram

$32.00
Sold Out
A beautiful blue and green astronaut against a reflective metallic background. The image becomes deep blue against a clear background at oblique angles. This batch of emulsion could have been a bit better, but this hologram is still quite beautiful.

Holograms are very difficult to photograph and are much better in person. There is much more depth, dimension of color, and texture to the holographic layer that cannot be described.
Recorded in handmade dichromated gelatin on July 24, 2021. Produced using powerful lasers: 488 nm Coherent Sapphire and 445 nm Ahura ECDL.
After development and processing, the delicate holographic layer is laminated behind a sheet of glass. The edges are ground and beveled with a series of diamond lapping wheels, then polished on a buffer to a glossy shine. The result is a jewel-like faceted appearance and an excellent feel in the hand.
The number in the corner is for inventory tracking. It can be easily removed with an alcohol wipe. Holograms are best viewed when illuminated with light coming from a single point, such as a flashlight or spotlight.

Custom work is also available. I love making holograms, and custom orders are the most rewarding. Please contact me for details.
