     GEORGE : if I  send  the scraps to  you  do you know anyone  who could analyse the  material chemically ?



No not really.. Not sure it really matters. Think it is seems safe enough to say that it is some kind of epoxy/resin. I am going to go with that it was most likely sprayed. Now the trick in my mind is how someone managed to juggle the pic into the bottle, position it and hold it in place while covering it with the second layer of epoxy/resin. I can't imagine brushing a second layer of "sticky/gummy" epoxy by hand over what is likely a very fragile paper/plastic photo image .

While you were doing your dissection, I did get a response from one photo forum that fits with what your finding.

Here is the comment from the forum.

It would be nice to figure out what kind of thin color printed paper was used.. Apparently a printer will print on something as fragile as tissue paper.

I wonder if once the photo on thin paper/plastic is positioned over the first ( sprayed ? ) layer of epoxy/resin, if maybe something like a small baloon could be inserted then blown up to hold the photo firmly against that first layer ?

The Liquid / Light Emulstion I mentioned in the original post on the photo forum is a process I found online for transfering to glass, but apparently it only works in black and white. No color.
