Another Edgelit (my first)

[Joe Pelonio]

I decided to mix it with my other hobby, bonsai, so used a picture of a tree. I did both rastor and vector on the image, and used the 10 light battery LCDs for it. This is 1/8" green edge clear. Do people find that 1/4" works better?

Joe:
That is absolutely stunning! However, I would have expected no less from you. Congratulations on a beautiful piece of art!

Nice work Joe. Keep it coming. Do you have a file for that tree ? Jim

[Joe Pelonio]

I do, but ought not share it without the permission of the owner. He's a friend of mine so I'll e-mail him tomorrow if you want. It's his Arctic Beech bonsai, in winter dormancy so no leaves.

Very cool joe! :D

[Frank Corker]

Great job Joe. I should imagine in low light that must look even more amazing.

Here's a file with the tree

Very cool. Edgelit stuff always puts me in awe. And I imagine after doing one, you already have plans for your next project involving edgelighting.

No secret. I took the color photo, and within Corel X3 I first edited the bitmap
to convert to grayscale. Then I inverted it, because it had a black background. Then I ran Trace. I tried it with several settings but found that clipart setting worked best in this case.
