epson's ultra premium matte photo paper.

i've been working out some pendant designs using a print of one of my originals, the tree that grew love. i have a nice horizontal design that i am going to try to make into a resin pendant set in a large metal frame. here is a test run for my round capped pendants...

i'm not super happy with the print quality. i bought the store brand premium matte paper at office depot. i don't much care for it. before the office depot paper, i had some photo postcard paper from staples. i was pleasantly surprised with it and hope to get more soon. my favorite matte paper is epson's ultra premium photo paper. i always gorgeous results with it and can't wait to get more. little expensive for cards and pendants though...i will probably get the staples for card and jewelry making. any budget brands y'all would recommend?

victoria kloch (see my blogroll) recently posted about georgia o'keefe. this paper made me think of her larger than life florals and watercolors. it also reminds me of her fondness for the southwest and desert landscapes...its gorges and canyons. still have yet to name this and get better photos. this by far has been one of the hardest to photograph. the paper is iridescent and the acrylic cab is reflective. perhaps georgia is on my mind.
