I just did The Last Supper on a piece of mediocre wood to see if it would turn out. I think I'll try it on nicer wood next time. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Sheryl, that is wonderful! Did you do the frame and all? What is the size? I think the wood has a nice vintage feel which enhances the overall effect.

Digital Scrapbooking has png files with alot of different frames that I sometimes use in my work.
It's funny , this was only going to be a trial one and then I was going to get a nicer piece of wood as a gift for my Dad.

Sheryl,
That's beautiful!!!!! Where did you get such a good image of the Last Supper? I have been looking for one for quite some time. I would be indebted to you forever if you would share that one!

Great job!
That was the first thing I ever lasered - on a piece of paper. Hold it up to the light & you could see the micro perforations.
However, my image was no were near the level of yours. I'm with Steve, where did you find such a clean copy of this image & are you willing to share it?

I found the image on this site:
http://freechristimages.org/biblesto...ast_supper.htm
There are two different versions Enhance and Restored. I used the restored version.
For the frame I used a png image from a digital scrapbooking site that I subscribe to and adusted it to fit. If anyone would like it I cam PM them.

Er, Tim, Steve,
Not to put too fine a point on it but Sheryl, in her second post said "Digital Scrapbooking," and PNG files.

Sherly, I love your "test shot". Went to link but cannot get the image saved. Computer acts like it saves it but I cannot open or import it? I enlarged it, right clicked, and saved. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sandy

Hi Sandy,
If you left click on the image it should open in a new tab. Then right click and select "Save picture as"
Open Corel and import. It worked for me in both Firefox and IE7 using Corel v10.
Can you see the file name when you open the Import dialog in Corel?

Oh..gad.. That's a much better picture than the one
I planned to give out this Easter

Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Thanks Dave, I tried again. When I "save picture as" it offers file type "art" or "bmp"
I tried both. Open Corel X3, new page, import, I highlight the saved file, click on import button & the highlight dims & nothing happens.

Sandy,
I just dragged the image from the site onto my desktop and it was there, no problem. Try that!
and Bill: eeeew!

Excellent work!
Try cowhide as a substrate then frame it.
I use paste floor wax on the leather before I engrave it so it is easier to clean up engraving residue then I recoat it with wax and buff it.

Man, I Googled "Digital Scrapbooking" and came up with a boatload of sites... the actual .com site with that same name was a paid subscription site. I'm willing to tuck tail between legs if you can point me to the correct site...in her second post said "Digital Scrapbooking," and PNG files.
