Zero Gravity Scanning - You gotta Try this!

Have you picked the Premier issue of this new magazine yet?

It is chock full of good ideas and step-by-step projects with tons of color photos.

They have a

FREE PROJECT

available online.

But one of my favorite articles was the "Zero Gravity Scanning" how to.

My brain is already spinning with new ideas. I don't know why I never thought of this!!

You basically take the lid off of your scanner, flip it upside down onto anything you want to scan.

This is great for those 3D items and the large items. Make sure you place a clear transparency sheet over your scanner's glass to protect it. This is fabulous when you are trying layer a collage like scene -- this way you don't have to try to do it in reverse and *hope* that everything is lined up the way you want it.

The article suggested even creating dimesional scans - a landscape in an acrylic tray - (I call them "scanscapes" ). Fill a 1 inch deep tray with sand and shells and ???, place the scanner upside down on top and scan! Make your own background pages - shadow box style.

So many ideas...

I cannot legally post the actual scans of the article, but trust me, that isn't the only good project/technique in this mag. You WILL want to get a copy of your own to save on your reference shelf.
