Women Love Diamonds! Episode 1

Hi there! I'm Madalyn, Poster Mountain's summer intern. Here are some quick facts about me so we can get acquainted with one another: I'm doing my masters at Northumbria University at Newcastle UK, in Conservation of Fine Art specializing in paper.  I'm originally from San Francisco but moved to LA in 2007 to go to CalArts for my undergrad and now consider my self an Angelino (well aside for the moving to England part, but that's only temporary) I'm a painter I have a cat and his name is Stanley This summer I'll be spending my time learning as much as possible here at Poster Mountain and doing different projects such as this one. These posts will follow the progression of treatment and restoration of a poster titled "Women Love Diamonds." So lets jump right in! My first glimpse of the poster was an experience to say the least. Why you ask? Because it was literally in about a million pieces. Honestly! OK, well maybe not a million pieces
