Surprise Gifts

Our friend Phoenix purchased a 3D printer this summer. I knew he intended to make something Halloween related for me. It was solid black until I played with some metallic paints and he seemed to like this clip I sent.


His second creation really took us by surprise. Phoenix said he’d found a single, solitary photograph including the three of us. It’s from our wedding. The fact my late mother-in-law and best friend are included makes it even more special. The gift includes a stand with a place to place a rechargeable tea light behind the negative.
I think our friend Kathy was admiring my pendant…

Have you ever used a 3D printer? Did you know photos can be replicated?

  1. Hello Darla, I have never used a 3D printer, and I have never owned any printer. I have heard that photos can be replicated. I love the wedding photo!

  4. Pretty cool! I've never used a 3D printer and I'm not quite sure how they do what they do.

  5. The flower looks good painted in colours.
    I don't know anything really about 3D printing, especially the replication of photos.

  6. They make so many interesting things with the 3D printer at the continuation high school. Every time I'm in that classroom I see such cool stuff.

  7. I have not used a 3-D printer and am often amazed by what can be made with them. BTW, that rose is scary.

  8. 3D printers mystify me. I loved the rose gift video, the way it looks so normal and pretty, then you slowly turn it over. That was awesome!!

  9. I have as yet never used it but I'm very much interested in seeing how it works. Sounds fun.

  11. Hi Darla, thank you so much for your comment and explanation on my blog post in reference to cicadas and assassin bugs! Yikes, just the name 'assassin bug' is scary! LOL!
    Thanks again, dear friend! :)
