Head of an Apostle

In my art class, we were given a choice as to what we wanted to do our final presentation about.  Naturally, I chose etch a sketch art.  As part of my presentation, I drew Albrecht Durer's Head of an Apostle on the etch a sketch.  Not to brag or anything, but I think it turned out pretty good :)

I also figured out how to preserve the etch a sketch picture so it would not erase.  That was quite the process.  First I tried simply drilling holes in the back to drain the powder inside that makes it erase.  I just ended up with a big mess and a picture that would still erase.  Finally I found a method that included completely taking the etch a sketch apart, dumping the powder, washing it clean, and removing the wires that control then knobs.  So, after hours of work, I finally made my etch a sketch permanent.  The only problem is, now I have no idea what to do with it.
