Poorly executed emulsion lift!!! The lift was placed onto watercolor paper. Instead of lifting the emulsion off with my hands.... I placed the boiled up 'roid onto a wet piece of watercolor paper. I used a brayer to press it down a little. I then slowly lifted up the 'roid while using my fingers to make sure the emulsion fell onto the paper.... I swirled the loose emulsion around with my fingers... only very very elements of teh Boardwalk clown in Vegas were recognizable...

so I took the SHIT-LIFT and scanned it into CS2 after it had dried. I played around with it in there. I added some gold flecks to the yellow watercolor paper by using Alien Skin Eye Candy niture plug-in. I then took a HOLGA image of the same clown and copy/pasted it over the lifted clown. I reduced the opacity of the HOLGA image and used free trasnform to warp it up a little.

A lot of work went into this... and I'm not even happy with it. Ah well....

TIP: Never give up! And never throw anything away no matter how shitty it may be. Every shitty 'roid has some potential!
