Go small or go home....

[Scott Shepherd]

Inspired by Chuck Stone's facial engraving on pens, I thought I'd see what all of us can do with the small scale stuff.

Here's my first attempt. Took about 3 minutes from the time I downloaded the photo to engraving it, so not much time invested, but the results were better than I expected.

It's black/white plastic.

Who's next?

[Dee Gallo]

Excellent, Scott! I can't wait to see little faces peeking out of Dave Fairfield's miniature windows now...:D

[Dee Gallo]

So by the way, what was your original size photo, how did you prepare the photo and what were the settings?

THANKS for posting, dee

[Scott Shepherd]

Not sure Dee, I grabbed a photo from google just to try it. Not sure why "Pamela Anderson" came to my mind to search for :D

I ran it through 1-touch software, picked dark plastic, hit print, hit the green button and done.

I can check the settings for you later, but it didn't take much of an image.

Especially nice work on the Roosevelt image. What kind of machine did you use? :D

[Chuck Stone]

Surprising how much detail holds up!
You planning on spending Pam coins? :p

By the way .. you know I HAD to stop into the shop and
finish that pen, right?

Does this mountain make my butt look big?

Here's a picture of a spider and web that I just cut out of black and florescent acrylic. Those are some THIN spider legs!!!!!!

[Michael Hunter]

I'm impressed Steve - If I tried that I would be spending hours trying to glue the spider legs back together!

[Chuck Stone]

You did the legs?? :eek: They look like they're bent and the spider is stanging
up off of the web..

No they're flat.....

Those look great. A small amount of heat from a candle should let you bend the legs slightly.

Woh... I thought they were assembled, too. something about that first pic made them look really 3D.
