lenticular research

researched the lenticular stuff >$$$$$ big bucks to do.
$$ for image & $$$ for plastic sheets.
have emailed a few mfg's with questions.:
like: can image be printed on transparency or reflective/foil stock?
more questions than answers at the moment. think i will try to visit one or two. there is a place in the sf bay area & one in lake elsinore (san bernardino or escondito??)


did see one done with glass block that worked well. do not know if they still make the blocks/bricks & do not think it a good choice for shipping to boston. i suffered severe damage to work coming back from last residency. the weight of shipping glass block could be cost prohibitive as well. the work i saw was 3ft high x 5ft wide (ish), which translated to approximately 15 glass blocks/bricks???

this stuff won't fit in my suitcase & would not be conducive to paint application on the bricks. paint may work on the image.

think i will focus on image creation & take the lenticular stuff in stride.
