OK, so I went shopping to hit all the after Christmas sales and came home with a few different things from Kohls and a few new questions.
The first picture is of an interesting ornament that is like a flattened ball. I think that these would be perfect to engrave pictures on due to the nice flat surface. There was one at Macy's that actually had a clear "glass" side so that you could see inside it where there was a picture of Santa painted (I should have bought that one!). Any idea who might sell these? This one was made by St. Nicholas Square (couldn't find their website).
The second and third pictures are of a "Sentiment Stone Wall Plaque" made by New View Gifts and Accessories, LTD (good luck trying to find a website for THESE guys!). They state on the package that they use "an advanced sculpting and painting process" to create these. It is obviously some type of stone resin product. But it appears that they not only were able to engrave it, but cut it too. I'll throw it in my laser later today to see if that's the case. You can see by the second picture that the plaque is thin and there is some resin flaking off. But the front almost looks like a Corian or solid surface. Any idea what this stuff is or where to get it?
Lastly, the fourth picture is a word art sign, but what's interesting is that every other letter is a different thickness (which I think makes it stand out better). Any idea how they did this?
Oh, and did anyone notice the nice red acrylic signs in Macys that said "100% Cashmere"? Whoever did them has a pretty big laser bed.....but I liked them.
