There are a number of epoxies on the market, but they can be caustic and difficult to work with – Art Resin is a two-part epoxy that has little smell or fumes, and is really easy to work with!

A Pinterest idea I have come across is printing photos on an architectural printer. You don’t get the same quality of as blowing up a photo to a poster, but you can blow images up to very large sizes and they feel more vintage or industrial in my mind.
