More Wild Hare Ideas
Finally got to play with a laser engraver. In addition to
cutting/piercing and "printing" by burning tiny dots into things, it can also do low relief "carving" using a gray scale image where WHITE means Don't Burn, BLACK means Burn Deepest and grays are in between. LOTS of Wild Hare possibilities with this thing. Creating gray scale patterns in PhotoShop to "carve" is interesting. http://web.hypersurf.com/~charlie2/T...ngraving1.html This one was a synthesis (combining) of two ideas and the use of a saved "failure". http://web.hypersurf.com/~charlie2/T...oxWfinial.html charlie b |
