As 2013 is the year of the snake (water) [also known as Serpent] I/we shall be using this as our theme.

Our goal is to build an appliquéed Rok fighter.

Hi Christian,
ReplyDeleteIs there a minimum size of light box that makes this project 'do able'? For instance, If I was able to get an old kitchen unit draw and fit it with a light and glass?
I guess I might be able to answer my own question by observation and saying that it needs to be larger than the largest piece of applique used to complete the pattern. Is this so? Of course the larger the better?
Thanks,
Colin J
Hi Colin,
ReplyDelete...of course, the larger the better, my light table has a piece of glass 1250 x 520 mm, so not larger than the largest piece of appliqué. The light table/box also has to be transportable....
....so how about a window pane, on two trestles, with a light underneath it ?
Christian
Hi Colin,
ReplyDeleteI'm using a lightbox 1080mm x 770mm (thank you Alan and Anne for the glass) this is almost perfect for Christians Rok.
