Auratone kits are now available! What’s an Auratone, you ask? Here’s a little background... if you’re familiar with early photographic processes like daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, sepiatones, and tintypes, you’ll get this right away. If not, you’re in for an exciting surprise!
Some time ago I saw an original Edward S. Curtis Orotone (circa 1920) at a friend’s house and was completely blown away. Curtis’ Orotones were made in the darkroom where he applied a mixture of gold dust and banana oil to the back of a glass plate print. The results were stunning…when turned over, the gleam of the gold shone through the black- and-white photo for a subtle yet very powerful effect.
Fast forward to the present day…
I have come up with a SIMPLE way to do something very similar to a digital photo – no darkroom – and it ROCKS! In an informal survey, four out of five photographers said “Ooooh!” – eyes wide, jaw dropped.
No matter what your specialty is, I just know you’ll love making Auratones!
Fine art photographers: Auratones are perfect for unique still lifes, scenics, nudes, and nature studies worthy of a gallery show!
Portrait photographers: Set yourself apart from the competition. Auratones look gorgeous matted and framed!
Wedding photographers: Nothing could be more elegant than an Auratone of the bridal couple…AND you can offer them custom Auratone thank-you notes to send to their guests!
Artists and crafters: There’s no end to the creative applications of an Auratone – on collage, assemblage, photomontage, and altered art.
Everyone: Miniature Auratones adhered to fine card stock make elegant notecards…create your own line of handcrafted cards!
Making an Auratone is easier than you might imagine. Aside from your computer, basic Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) skills, and a desktop printer, everything you need is in the kit. If you’re curious but just not quite ready to buy the kit, for a limited time I’m offering a $5 rebate on the price of an Auratone notecard. Visit My Shop and once you’ve placed an order for a notecard, you’ll receive a code entitling you to $5 off the regular price of the kit.
Note: Auratone kits are for adults only…not intended for kids!
