I was going to ask the same thing too. Darn I can't remember if I printed it! I'm sure if I did I'll find it in about a year or two :eek:

Thanks Dee for the input. I was thinking that they would stain the lasered areas but wipe off the non lasered areas. They do look nice and vibrant though. I'll let you know once I test them. I've...
Hi All,
I've never used these or even heard of them before, but my son just ordered some to use along with his airbrushing. After reading about them and seeing the pictures that can be made with...
Stephen,
The X/Y I can do, I just never have and forget that I can. Thanks for reminding me.
Mike,
I know what you mean with the tabs (like on the risers that came with your cutting grid) ...
Ok I did a test on the back of the ruined plaque (It has the same finish on back as on front) Since I'm using the shoe polish (I actually have the liquid one for the soles of the shoe here, just a...
Mike those are really nice. Thanks for the input. I was afraid to burnish the foil too much before lasering (I thought the excess may ruin the finish when being pulled off), so I think that was my...
Hi Margaret,
According to the directions your supposed to put the foil on first but, since I have a bad plaque now at least I can experiment a little on it so I may try it. Thanks :)
What am I doing wrong?
I'm lasering walnut plaques. I thought getting the position right would be the hardest but...
I already wasted a plaque! This is the first time I'm using the laser...
Bob That's great Congrads on your success with the schools. Were the whole dozen engraved or just one rose in the dozen? Just curious as to what the schools liked/accepted for the $7.00.
Thanks Everyone, I thought that would be the way to go but wasn't sure :)
Hi,
I was wondering if there are any tricks you all use to align certain pain in the butt things. I have a plaque order (5 plaques -2 different sizes). I'll be lasering them one at a time as they...
Patrick,

Robert,
Really nice work! I especially like the stuff you have under your specials tab. The Dolphin one is awesome, at first I actually thought that the metal and wood were real and I thought just...
Thanks again to everyone who sent praises and the info on the oil paint experiences and the stone sealer. This is really good info and I'm sure it will help me in my work. (I'm always learning here...
James,
You can dust it with a dry cloth and it will be fine but It will wash off with water so It's not for outdoor use. I just pray artists fixative on it to protect it a little. I will at...
John,
I got my water color pencils from Michaels. I know you could also use pastels or pastel pencils (the powdery kind not the oily ones). I was wondering if the oil pastels would work (I'll have...
Yes onur that is how I understand it too.... Below paragraph is the info from wikipedia.org. Also I have found some good public domain images on artrenewal.org
Since 1978
Before 1978,...
Thanks everyone!
Onur,
yes your order is correct engrave brighten then color.
To brighten I just dab the opaque white on with a cotton swab in a small area, work it in with a rag then...
Here are the photos a little larger.
Hello all,
Just thought I'd show off a couple projects. These are HD Granite. The Baby one is going to be a Christening gift for my cousin. And the other is my first multi tile image - only two...
These particular ones are "jack beans" (I guess beans are seeds). But I'm gonna try it with kidney beans (I have a bag in my pantry). I know the schools use kidney beans for showing kids how plants...
Just in case anyone was interested, they answered my email. Us folks with lasers can create our own stuff and sell on there.
Thought I saw everything.... found this while surfing.
Here is what it said
A message bean? We’re just as mystified as you and the hundreds of others who’ve picked up this magical...
Has anyone seen this site? www.ponoko.com I haven't heard anyone talk about it on here so I thought well maybe we're not suppose to for some reason... (if that's the case... sorry just delete my...
Dee,
That espalier idea is cool too (and I learned something cause I had never heard of it) I looked it up in wikipedia... Thanks, I think I'll try both versions.
I'll keep you all posted on...
