Purple haze all in my brain…
Unfortunately I overpowered it, and it was wrecked. Was about to redo it with new settings but then I said “well, lets just see how it looks backlit…”
Uhh…
Needless to say I didn’t do it again. That’s perfect.

Oh snap I just got a dramatic flashlight spot backlight:

After looking at the first image I would have never guessed that it had so much detail in it. Glad you thought to back light it.

Very nice. A whole new technique is born.

Well technically this is just a paper lithophane, and I did do something like this before (under previously in the original post).
I think it’s still pretty cool, new or not!

Wow, don’t sneeze!
I am doing the same thing with single coloured card stock. The resulting item is still quite tough. It gets kind of like fabric.

What kind of cardstock are you using? Looks great!

That is super cool. I have a bunch of cardstock around I may need to start messing around with it. I can’t believe the detail you got out of that with the back lighting.

What kind of cardstock
Click the previously link in the beginning of this thread, I go into a lot more detail there.
Right? This is my second attempt at this, I was similarly amazed in the last one (again, the previously link is the trick here).

That’s incredible. What a great “mistake!”

Seems perfect for a Chinese (Japanese?) lantern with those LED candles like @geek2nurse 's Kumiko lanterns If you put it in backwards it would look blank till lit up.

Very cool, and now my ear worm is a flash back to the late 60’s - a wonderful time in a crazy kinda way.
