<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 327381, member: 51"]When I look through a loop, all I see is paint. These seem to be done on a very thin slice of ivory, based on the picture that is completely falling apart. So the photo or print would need to be somehow attached to that ivory which does not seem to be the case as I don't see any kind of layer attached. (But maybe misunderstanding the process, to be fair.) I have heard these described as "gouache over watercolor" in other auctions. I'll take another look to be sure. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
