Title: Steve Compound Question
Post by: James R on July 18, 2010, 06:32:16 pm

Hello Steve,
  I was just watch the video of the SAW Expo and you went by a compound of a name that seemed to be reversed on the top.
Could you elaborate on this technique, if you would please.

Thank you,
Jim

James - Not to interrupt, but what is your profile picture a picture of?

That is a glass etching I did a few years back called Evil Thoughts.

How do you make the stencils for the glass etching?

Thanks for the kind words. The stencil method I used is screen printing involving a direct emulsion
exposed with a 5000 watt metal halide light source.The image was prepared in Photoshop using the Adromeda screen plugin

Hi James, I'm not sure I remember which project you are talking about but it sounds like it might have been a compound cut where one name is scrolled in a block then another name is scrolled on the other surface. If you get a chance give me the time stamp in the video and I'll go look. Was it the 2010 SAW expo video or the 2008?
