Stepping Stones - Unique Glass Ferric Hologram
$55.00
Sold Out
A unique hologram - one of the first available using ferric ammonium oxalate rather than ammonium dichromate as a photosensitizer. This experimental chemistry holds the promise of less toxic materials and have ease of processing, if it can be optimized. Much work remains to be done, but the initial results are encouraging.
Sales of these holograms continues to fund further research at Rika Labs.
This hologram is a linear grating, but made with two wavelengths and multiple exposures at different angles in one hologram. This one came out quite unique, and I am not sure the cause. It sure is pretty. The texture is like fine lace and covers the whole image. One of a kind.
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 ferric gelatin July 17, 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.
