I have a heat laminator and I then mount them to a wood panel using spray mount.Hmm, that is interesting. I have lots of paper icons laying around. How does one go about laminating and mounting icons? Is it something I could do at home?
Awesome! Let me know when it's up and running!I have a stack of old Orthodox calendars and so any icons I want I laminate and mount myself. I also laminate and mount my own icons and will have my own icon site up and running in about a months time.
I am in the process of building it with a friend of mine. When we launch it the site will not be fully built. We plan to slowly add things to the site to make it manageable and to make it interesting to people so they come back multiple times. The site will have a blog of thoughts or articles I have collected and written on iconography, my icons for sale in both print form and handwritten originals form, my essays on iconography, will make greeting cards of my various icons available and will have a few other interesting things as well.Awesome! Let me know when it's up and running!

I will post the URL for it as soon as the site is up and running.That sounds interesting! I can't wait...
That is what I'm doing with my photography site. A little at a time. Only the best of my efforts.
Great! Can't wait!I will post the URL for it as soon as the site is up and running.
I am also going to have the FAQ that I talked about doing on here 3 years ago on my site. That should be fun. But again, it will slowly be added so as to not overwhelm visitors the first time they see the site.That sounds interesting! I can't wait...

Aw shux!
I don't have an icon corner, except for a couple of pocket-sized icons in one of my drawers (which I haven't even used). I............am not worthy...
Aw well. One day at a time.
I doubt they'd mind. Nobody living at my house at the moment actually goes to the CoC except me. My Mum used to, but was excommunicated. She's not really a practicing Christian anymore. I'm perhaps thinking that maybe I could lead her to Orthodoxy one day.Your family is Church of Christ, right? Would they let you have an icon corner?
Then maybe it is time to make a small icon corner where you can say your daily prayers?I doubt they'd mind. Nobody living at my house at the moment actually goes to the CoC except me. My Mum used to, but was excommunicated. She's not really a practicing Christian anymore. I'm perhaps thinking that maybe I could lead her to Orthodoxy one day.
I also figure, it's time to start getting into a more Orthodox lifestyle, and a small icon corner is a very good place to start, I reckon. I have two small icons. I'm quite lucky. One of them is of St. Anastasia, and the other has Christ, and Apostles at his side, pulling up Adam and Eve from the bottom of the picture. I'm lucky. In one icon, I have one icon which features many saints, as well as Christ! I know they're Orthodox because they were given to me by my local parish.
I also need to visit my parish again -- it's been the longest time, and they're probably wondering what's happened to me.
I feel like I'm being a cafeteria Orthodox inquirer and it's time to turn it around I think.
Very nicely done.Alright, I've put up the two icons I got from the parish and printed four more. I felt like I had to clean the wall before I put them up.
What's more, I think that the icons are facing east!
Here's a more close-up view:
That's very nice! I have a few printed icons, myself. What do you hang them with? I'm always worried I'll tear something if I use a nail or tack, ect...Alright, I've put up the two icons I got from the parish and printed four more. I felt like I had to clean the wall before I put them up.

I use.....Blu-Tack! Doesn't damage the icons or the walls! I wouldn't feel comfortable sticking pins in them -- like voodoo dollsThat's very nice! I have a few printed icons, myself. What do you hang them with? I'm always worried I'll tear something if I use a nail or tack, ect...
