It's been quite awhile since I've made a post, we have been busier than we have ever been around here. These before and after photos are of a project that we have had in house for a really long time. It was originally on old rotten card stock, water damaged and stained by water and mold. It has been removed from the card stock, bleached, Linen backed and restored.

Before and afters of some fun posters. They were both adhered to a type of heavy cardboard with a dry mount tissue. Tape on the back complicated the removal of the poster from the board. Posters were then bleached, linen backed and restored.
