Pretty straight forward with my 1st one.-

Made a pattern in photoshop and had it laminated. Because of it's size, I went with the least expensive laminate.
It has faded somewhat, and this pic shows a close-up of the pattern.
(And some streaking from a printer that was starting to go.)-

For the 3g, I printed out some pics taken from Easter Island. They were taken off a 6 CD set of license free images from around the world.
I chose three I liked and went with the heaviest gauge available. Decided on the sunset as I liked it best,
but would be easy too change the looks by adding either red or natural gravel to suit the background.-

I've never been very "craft" orientated, and have recently posted pics of this one.-

I'll be finalizing plans with that, and redoing the tank it's destined for this weekend.
It is much easier too cut this corrugated plastic with a power cutting tool than an Olfa knife, but had this material kicking around, and wanted too put it to use.
Same kinda premise as the stars, but this tank is better suited to having a small desk lamp behind it, too give it an illuminated effect.
It also still needs a little tweaking, but would be easy to change the patterns that show through.-

It should look a lot different with light behind it, as opposed to being hit by the flash.
My next project will involve sculpting styrofoam, and after that (once the snow's gone) have an idea using pine cone/needles and twigs.
Talk of a bark background got me going on that idea, and have thought that one out too completion. (I think):twitcy:
