CHeck it out



I have been playing in photoshop. I think these type of simple images are cool. i think this one of dan and angie would look really cool on a stretched canvas huge on the wall. I am trying to find a way to copy an image onto clear plastic and then project the image onto a solid color canvas. i then could draw in the areas that i needed to paint. ( i got this idea from something the elementary teachers did for some of us. they projected a black and white picture of us onto butcher paper and used a marker to create a huge portrait.) if you want me to try one of you and your honey then take some pictures and send them along. it works best with a simple background and your heads close together. i have seen kissing shots like this and it's cool.

Hey (I'm assuming this is Rachel, but maybe not?),

Looks like fun. Just wanted to let you know that you can buy printable transparencies and print the image from your inkjet or laser printer right onto a "printable" transparency. Thought that may help if your still figuring out how to get the image onto the clear paper. Good luck

LOL,
Annie

these are way cool! who is writing this...deb..mom?? i definitely want something of Deena and I. Annie is right. it really isn't that hard to print on transparencies from your inkjet printer.

i, rachel, posted these. I am anxious to see how this idea turns out. i think iwill use a high tech projector at derids school. i won't even have to print anything out and the projector wont distort the image like your old school over head projector. Iam also thinking of differnt types of surfaces to use like wood, metal, or even a wall.

definitely love this idea! the pictures of Dan/angie and Deb/Andrew are so great!
I need something over my bed to add color to my bleak white bedroom--this could be so perfect.

We are all so lucky to get the benefit of Rachel's creative mind.

love and smiles
