right this probably wont help you any, but when i started my photography course i was shown another students work it was driftwood and was roughly coated with emulsion on top with a black and white photo of ... a foot !!! it looked really cool, ah maybe you dont live near the sea...

i think the bar idea was good, my friend took a great photo of an old guy smoking a pipe in a bar, smoking in public places is banned now in scotland, i dont know about you
yep i just made no sense at all!

Liquid Light!

i was wondering if that stuff existed.

i went to a photo exhibit not too long ago and it included a ceramic bowl on which the photographer had exposed a shot of his neighbor's house.

the stupid tag next to the piece never explained how he did it. . .i guess Liquid Light would be the way, huh?

Yea, its really handy. You can basically print a photo on ANYTHING.  Body parts even (but thats HIGHLY not recommended).  Its pretty cheap too.  I think I used a 25 dollar bottle on something like 15ish 7x5 pieces of exposed photo paper.

I actually am using the cigar boxes as stands now (I'm so fickle).  I ended up starting a whole new project after getting SO frustrated by this old one, so I started all over again.  I ended up taking a TON of matte scrap book  4"x4" blocks of paper, and printed large photos in sort of moziac thing. Its kinda cool.  When I can get my digital camera to cooperate with me I'll post pictures.

WIth the wood, anything organic could look pretty good, I think some close shots of organic textures to give the box a "printed" pattern look.

Maybe these will give you a starting point?

Also, the library and thrift stores have brought me to REALLY OLD photography books that include a bunch of alternative processes.
