Hess,

Great tip! Is that one of yours?

Hmmm, where does one find clear cast acrylic..

I think it's a printed overhead transparency place behind the regular litho is this correct?

Yes :)

Getting the transparency image the same size as the litho can be a bit tricky... otherwise it could look like you colored outside the lines.

Colored cellophane can be used too, in selected areas (with white corian), to create the effect similar to those black and white greeting cards with only a portion being colorized (like a rose, or heart).

Here's a little info I posted in Dec. of 2007

Quote: Coloring Corian Litho’s

You can use semitransparent acrylic Hobby paints on the lighted side of the Corian
or from inside surface of the Corian in a light box.
Even using colored marker pens lightly can add enough color to render a dramatic effect.
Remember a little color can go a long way, so do a few test runs first.

These aren't mine but it's a good example of a
before and after Litho that has been colored.

Now that is a pretty SLICK idea..... Every new member of this forum brings new ideas to the table.... WOW... NICE !!!!

What is your light source?

The same idea could be applied to Lasering the back of a Mirror and making a Transparency MASK of COLOR and illuminating it the same way.... COOL....
