Well worth the wait indeed! Lol! I was the the one who requested this #Mars image 15 years ago! #feelingold Thanks @HiRISE!Perhaps I should request that @ExoMars_CaSSIS take another look @ this spot and wait another 15 years for that image? What do you all think?

What toys and goodies did Santa bring? Anything in there for a conservator on the ‘nice list’? What do you get the conservator who has everything?

A peak at the effectiveness of #washing to remove #stains and soluble acidic degradation products. The pH moved from about 5 to 7.5 over 3 baths. The object is much more stable #aftertreatment.

Test, then test, then test again ... repeat. Discovering the solubility parameters of an aging and discolouring varnish layer relative to the underlying paint film can involve many solutions.

Surface cleaning the very dirty #frame to house the newly cleaned painting. It’s going to look spectacular when it is all put together again! #artconservation #paintingconservation #thisisconservation @cac_accr #capc #artrestoration #paintingrestoration… https://t.co/PRzW1GCZjB

Some minor #tearrepair and retouching to finish off the #conservationtreatment of this charming engraving. Perhaps we’ll consider #archival framing?

Hmmm... that’s not supposed to be there. A scalpel under the microscope will take care of that. #artconservation #surfacecleaning #paintingconservation #paintingrestoration #thisisconservation @cac_accr #canadianart #underthemicroscope #crud https://t.co/dyy4HmdOyp

Cleaning playful snowy scenes is a nice reminder of cooler times on these hot and sunny days! #artconservation #paintingconservation #thisisconservation @cac_accr #capc #canadianart #tedharrison https://t.co/P0yYh52TdI

Raking light is used to evaluate the plane and texture of the fill. Fine tools adjust, score crack lines and brushstrokes to mimic the surrounding paint film. #paintingconservation #artconservation #artrestoration #paintingrestoration #capc #fills @cac_a… https://t.co/P7Z2tEvEeg

This video shows how 16th century paper fragments appear to be 'alive' as they unfold and relax during conservation treatment. Video by Laurent Cruveillier!

Professional Development looks a little different these days. The mini-MCP workshop was fantastic and a huge thank you to Chris and Nina for generously providing this opportunity!
