Testing...

In this image you can see the regions of the Sphenoid Bone, Mandibular Angle, Coronoid Process, Condylar and Styloid Processes are all much darker and I was really happy with the results 




Since laser engraving the few test pieces I did last week, I've become obsessed with the idea of cuffs.
Cuffs.
Cuffs are what I'm going to make.
The image is 2D, and then, wait for it, I etch it and bend it AND IT BECOMES A 3D OBJECT.

Anyhow, moving on....

Etched anatomical designs, on the inside of a clear acrylic cuff, like a shadow being eternally projected onto the skin of the wearer...






Seeing as I already had the test plates I decided to "bake n'bend" a few one night when I was bored.
These are the preliminary results.










This is where I encountered my second problem...
After etching, the surface of the clear acrylic that has been etched turns white. A lot of this can be removed by a good clean like I had previously done, but essentially, it remains white. So even after all my amazingly technically skilled ink work, when viewed from the reverse, the beauty, depth, complexity and grandeur of my epic skillz are now void and null...
  
Laters!














Some more 'images for consideration'....
