How you CAN have your [marmalade] and eat it too.

Once you receive your jar in the mail, you'll find the passcode printed on the bottom of the jar, and that will let you download the high-resolution image file of your marmalade portrait. I recommend printing the portrait at 300dpi, no larger than 21 x 28 cm (8½ x 11 inches) on high quality photo paper using a high-quality printer, or at a professional photolab for the best result. However, it is of course your call how you would like to print it, if at all; you're the sole collector of the image file.

At this time, I am also offering the "combo" of selected jars and their companion portraits already downloaded, professionally printed and framed. (indicated with blue dots) The size of the print is 9.3 cm x 13.5 cm, making the marmalade jar "lifesize". The price is the same as above and you will receive both the jar of marmalade and the framed portrait; however, you will have no access to the image file.

As implied in the project description, this price is not fixed and will likely increase as the number of the remaining jars of marmalade decreases in the suite. Likewise, should you purchase it in person at a sale, the price may be less but I'm not sure if the difference will compensate the cost of a flight to Japan or any other sale points. The information about these in-person sales in the future will be listed on this page.

My editioned marmalade is made with our own organic summer oranges with either unrefined sugar (UR) or beet sugar (B) and nothing else. The jar is vacuum-sealed but once opened, it should be kept in the fridge and consumed within 2 - 3 weeks.
