Raw Egg Shell

~ also added a bit of clingfilm in the negative image scan ( after scanning convert the scanner art image into a negative image in paintshop pro or your art software program of choice )
Tweezers ~ I use fine craft tweezers which allow me to postion visual elements of design in the objects I like to scan
~ I added a feather and some leaves to sandwich between 2 sheets of cling film

~ once you scanned art image is loaded into your paint software cut out your favourite circle image and enhance by increasing the brightness/contrast level
~ you can also play with cutting out images and turning them imto negatives
~ with the circle I turned it into a negative then drew on some black line spiral with the draw tool and converted it into a kaleidoscope effect ( effects /reflection effects/kaleidoscope in paint shop pro )
