Created the stencil then printed it on the full sheet label...applied it to the surface which in this case was curved aluminum then used a blade to cut it out... spray paint... done. Or you can put your design on disk... take it to a sign shop have it put on 'buttercut' ... stick on rubber stuff ...apply to surface peel out the pre-cut letter... paint... I imagine if you're really concerned about the perspective on the sphere you might be able to do something with Transform/Distortion or Perspective... take a bit of fiddling but I think you'd get there eventually. And maybe... jusst maybe this might be worth a trip to Staples or similar to see what they have in the way of stick on letters. I've got a ton of these things kicking around. Most popular brand back when was Letraset - Letratype - Font's galore... use a piece of masking tape to get your base line... stick on the letters and walk away. ..might want to spray on a fixer... lacquere maye. As for light projection... keep your eyes open at the thrift shops...for a magic lantern type thing. My wife's been using one for years for stained glass work... but we hit the jackpot a few months ago..paid 10 dollars for a tracer...still in the box...new condition. Saw it a few days back in Michaels (arts/craft supply) $112.00 ! Anyway... I'd take a good look at the stick on letters. Geeez I'm a windy bastard. =) ___________________________________________________________________________ ?It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.? Voltaire Loading...
