Iconic of the man, from my ‘Hello World’ post. 1st file I prepared when I had no idea what I was doing, and first I printed (after the Founders ruler of course). Jimi has been waiting patiently since.
Sweet how the operation cuts a perfect mask for painting. Flat black spray, then I brushed and feathered in some afterwards to give a little more dimension - just enough to draw the eye.
His fro was a bugger to weed, still missed a spec or two.
9-1/2 X 11 Cherry - in a scale ready to grace my wall. I have some ideas for the matting… Mmuhuhahahaa - this is so much fun All you who have held out are in for a treat.
Man, it’s perfect.
I have developed a keen appreciation for proofgrade. From an old school perspective, having a material masked and pre-finished … Paint, peel and you’re done. Two steps in production off your back.
Oh I’m so with you. I’ve been in manufacturing forever and saving a couple of steps allows you to move on to another project sooner. (On to another smile!)
Thank you all!
I was really glad I uploaded that file before the HDD failed. Because of my inexperience it took me a long time learning how to prepare that image from a photo, and I would have lost it if it weren’t for the glowforge cloud account.
I still wonder what the storage limit of the account is, just so that I might better manage it.
