photo slides craft

[sylphide]

I found the most AWESOME slides in the garbage/giveaway area of my apartment building, and they're a great amber colour when seen from far away...up close they have really great pictures from museums. I want to make a mobile and hang it in my window so that the light shines through.

I know slides are MADE for light to shine through, but will the light fade the slides significantly really quickly? I know anything exposed to direct light will eventually fade, but will i get a good year out of it, or will they fade to nothing in a week or so?

im not really sure but in readymade a few issues back they had a lamp in which the shade was made from slides so i cant imagine the fading would be too signifigant. also you should take a picture and send it into readymade, the next reader challenge thingy is making things with photo negatives which is close enough. good luck
