A pair of the spines.
You can see how the paper has transparentized.

Here is one side of the artwork spread out on my table top.

Here is one side getting "waxed" on my Paula Roland light table.
You can see the thermometer on the upper left side of the anodized aluminum surface.

I just completed this piece for the Surface Design Association Members Show coming up in Kansas City in May. The show is called Sum of the Parts, and is in conjunction with the SDA Conference: Mind and Body. All the artwork submitted has the same size constraints which are 18" wide and 52" high, with a 2" loop at the top for hanging. They will be viewed from both sides.
