About my product
Before and After on some pretty gnarly bills
Starting the Cleaning process
Example of swordfish bills when I start the cleaning process.
Soaking
I soak the swordfish bills in my proprietary solution for up to 2 months to remove as much natural oils as possible.
Drying
It is important to let the swordfish bills dry completely before the sealing process starts.
Sealing
The sealing process can take several weeks and is very important to insure all artwork becomes part of the actual swordfish bill art .
The Artwork
All artwork is hand drawn with archival India ink using a hairline nib. The shine at the top of the photo in the lettering is genuine Gold Leaf.
Coloring
I hand brush all the coloring using urethane paints. These paints are transparent and give that watercolor appeal. They are also pigmented, and will last for generations.
Finished product.
The artwork is sealed in layers and becomes part of the swordfish bill and will never fade, crack or peal. Can be displayed outside out of direct sunlight.
