Crystal Gazer I - Glass DCG Hologram
$50.00
Sold Out
A beautiful reflective hologram, created via multiple exposures from a pattern of mirrored squares. Gives lovely, saturated colors in a wide variety of patterns as the piece is rotated and tilted. Gives lovely pink and magenta shades with transmitted light. All my holograms are unique originals, made directly from scratch.
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 dichromated gelatin on Sept. 26, 2021. Produced using special lasers: 488 nm Coherent Sapphire and 445 nm Ahura ECDL. Beams combined prior to spatial filtering and final collimation with a telescope mirror.
Emulsion layer formed via mold coating using hydrophobic and hydrophilic silane treatments on opposite sheets of glass. Dehydrated with a series of isopropanol baths prior to final development with a heat gun.
After development and processing, the delicate holographic layer is laminated behind a thick sheet of glass. The edges are ground 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. Please note that all holograms, especially DCG holograms, are vulnerable to moisture and humidity. Please store and display in a dry area.
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.
