Slanted Stripes - Handmade Laser Hologram

$20.00
Sold Out
A handmade glass hologram, showing a slanted diffraction grating against a clear background. This hologram is alright, but it's not my best work, as reflected in the price. Works pretty well in both reflection and transmission mode, as seen in the photos.

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 Aug. 28, 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.
