This Is A Large Black Light Poster
In My 70's Room Here At Home.
I Hand Colored It Years Ago.

Now Because of The Frac Filter
It's Prettier Than It Ever Could Have Been!

I'll Show You B4 and After So You
Can See The Huge Transformation

I thought at first that you probably created this yourself, but then I read that it was a poster and saw your before/after images. Great work, love the colors. And so cool that you have a 70's room. I still have a blacklite but no posters :( Guess I need to get me some. I used to have quite a few when I was a teenager. #8285530

Paul E. Earl January 10, 2010

Clever you! Now you will have to print it of as a print to go next to the original!!
Lovely image, Swanee! #8285532

Alex T. Mizuno January 10, 2010

Who cannot love this! You're a very creative person Laura!

Are you going back and forth between 70's and modern time? Or are you in coma? Tell Sam Tyler I said hi if you see him :) #8285721

Michelle Alton January 10, 2010

You've frac'd it into submission, Laura.
It certainly pops now! #8285804

Jeff Robinson January 10, 2010

I'm on the go today but will be back soon. So you guys want to see more 70's stuff do you??? You are giving me ideas!

Thank you all very much for the fun. See you later tonight!!!

COOL work, Laura... #8287224

Tammy Espino January 10, 2010

You have such cool things and oh what you do with them!!! Awesome :O) I still have albums and 45's so I am sure I will know lots of what is in your 70's room!!! :) #8287256

Laura E. Swan January 10, 2010

Chris, you need to dig out that stero and plug it in! Let those light bulbs inside light up to burn off that dust! HA! I still play mine a lot. I have my turn table, too, but can't find a diamond needle for it! My 8 track would still work but the tapes have fallen apart. (SAD!)

I sure wish I knew what happened to all of my black light posters. Those wonderful ships on black velvet, a really cool Jaguar, giant daisy flowers...and nick knacks painted in neon glowing colors laced the room.

I'll drop you a note. :)

Thanks Karen! :) !!!

Tammy girl, show us your STUFF! I know you can get creative with it! Why not? I will too. Maybe not tonight but soon.

THANKS ALL! I re-read all the comments here. ALEX!!! IN A COMA??? PLEASE EXPLAIN, DEAR! HA! (Do you work in one of those "special-secret" labs and you can read my brain waves??? COOL! You're the guy to know!

-Laura :D #8287401

Patrick Rouzes January 10, 2010

WOW, this is "WILD" Swanee,Laura! We did not have anything this bright in the 70's- maybe it was a good thing though,lol.We were wild enough as it was! Oops, shouldn't have said that-lol.
When you do something ,you give it your all,my friend, and that is what I like about you! WTG!Sure I will be back for another peek! #8287606

Alex T. Mizuno January 10, 2010

I'm calling from your subconscious. Can you hear me Laura? You have to wake up! Just kidding :)

Thought you knew "Life on Mars". Sam Tyler had an accident in 2006 and woke up in 1973. It's like he's landed on a different planet. You can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKy6COV22yY&feature=related #8287607

Sherran Andersen January 10, 2010

Laura E. Swan January 10, 2010

Hi Paddy! Yah! I bet you went wild in black zip up boots with the big heals and rust colored polyester suits! I can (almost) see you now. Of course the only clear picture we really have of you is your knee cap and tennis shoe...but it was SOMETHING to work with! HA! Thanks for the encouraging words! :D

Alex, you are so funny! I watched the PART ONE youtube of "Life on Mars" and now I am hooked! I gotta find out what happens next! I am glad you explained the joke. :) !!! That was VERY CLEVER of you!!! HA! Thank you for so much fun!

Thanks Sherran!

Hi Rony! Thanks for saying all you did and that you like the step by step. I like to share what I am learning. BPers have sure been helpful to me, too.

Happy To Return The Kindness!

Have a great evening/day all!

I was singing "All you need is love..." the minute I saw this beauty, SSSLala. One of my favorites. And thank you, Pat for bringing the song to this thread.
This could easily be a 60s poster, couldn't it?
I love what you did with it. #8299576

Laura E. Swan January 15, 2010

Yep! It sure could be! And Sister Pat was SO SO sweet to add music!

Thanks SSSKiki!
