Truly one of a kind. The ambrotype was a self portrait made and rejected for his purposes by my husband.


I wondered what would happen if I slumped it on top of a piece of glass in my kiln. I LOVED it!

Just after this firing the kiln broke. It turns out for several weeks it had not been firing at the displayed temperature and since I didn't use witness cones I don't know what that temperature was. I have been trying for years since to get ambrotypes to fuse this way but no dice.
