On a roll of some kind

I actually got those photo print things cropped this evening and thought I'd post some pictures of them so my mom could admire them (hi Mom!).

These are done by placing various objects (the Love thing is an earring) on photo paper on an enlarger in a darkroom, then exposing the paper so the images of the objects is left behind. We developed them with chemicals and everything, they still kind of smell. Plus something spilled on them, so there are little brownish patches. Luckily it's not too noticeable. 

I wish I had permanent darkroom access, these were a lot of fun to make and I can only imagine how often I would do it if I could!
