In photographing stuff especially jewelry I needed something close and steady to get good clean shots. So a quick spin on Inkscape and a run through the Glowforge and voila.

That is from the tablet I am typing on and it does not do good selfies of itself
Very nice! I need to do something similar. 
This is fantastic! I’ve run into instances several times where I couldn’t get good shots of things that I’ve made… because of the glare on the item…or even more so because of my own shadow being cast over what I’m trying to photograph. Great idea!
Many times (almost every time ) the photos are not crisp or more usually blurry because I cannot hold the camera still enough particularly when close up and the app that acts like a magnifying glass when trying to read tiny print has been nearly useless but no longer. 
What a great idea!
Good idea
Good idea!
Where’s the banana for scale?
Anyone can tell you that you can’t get a scale from a banana, You get scales from dragonfruit!
