It may be just that I had a free evening, but it all went to my head and got a little crazy around here!
A while ago I discovered a little application that would take any digitized picture you had, and process it into dots. You could then select how large to print it out, and print huge posters and wall sized images with it. Very Cool.
Now in Lauralea's and my bedroom we have a huge wall with presently no large art work to put on it. So, my mind put the two together, and it came out very very cool.
Last night with time on my hands, I got Lauralea to pose with me and I took a picture. (I'll take comments on the picture later!!)
I processed it, and printed it out 5 sheets by 3, at 8.5x11. This resulted in a picture about 40 inches by 30.
As it was printing I figured I had blown it. Each sheet was unrecognizable with the black dots, but when I laid them out a very clear picture emerged, like magic.
The results were amazing. They ranged from "Disgusting" to "Gross" from the assisting peanut gallery.
The possibilities for this are endless.
Take a picture of the sky and print it off and post it on your ceiling!
Take your favorite outdoor image and print it off to cover a whole wall in your living room or basement.
Take an image you want to use to communicate to your church or large group, and cover a whole wall with it in your meeting place.
Cheap wedding decorations or surprise birthday parties!
It's just paper and ink and off you go!!
Once you try it, you'll get hooked, so be careful.

Oh, and I love the picture! Makes me giggle every time I enter the room.
the idea of taking a picture of the outdoors and putting it on a wall in a living room or basement takes me back.....
ReplyDelete1970s scenic wallpaper murals, anyone?
Just last fall, we spent 2 days scraping those dang things off the walls of Anthony's parents' house....grrr.
But i guess if you put these newfangled ones up with sticky tack, at least you could change them every so often, more easily than gluey wallpaper....
Oh my. Are you guys wearing clothes in that picture? I can't tell.
ReplyDeleteInteresting program, though. I'll have to try it out.
Good question. Chris just asked me "have you seen that dodgy picture Randall's put on his wall". But there's just one question I have to ask, and it's not whether you're clad, unclad or whatever.
ReplyDeleteWas Lauralea on a chair so you were the same height, or did you bend your knees?
LOL
Ahem,
ReplyDeleteshe was standing on the kitchen step.
:-)
Never mind.
ReplyDeleteYes I can.
I can't believe he posted that!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lover Boy and Girl!!!!
