Are those edge lit or did you back light those.... don't see a box for the usual back lighting with pucks, LEDs or cold cathode?

The carvings are beautiful, and so are the kids! Great job!

I just propped a puck light up behind them for the photos. These are for setting on a window sill or in front of a lamp. I didn't have time to make a back light box for these.

Beautifully done George. You've made their face just glow and you can be justly proud of both your Grandkids and now their lithopanes too.

Some of the best lithophanes I've seen in a long, long time.

Just curious on what your depth settings were on the carvings.

Thank you Capt Bruce and SharonB.
Jerry I normally use the suggested settings (Depth .180, Height 450) from the Jan. 2009 Tips and Tricks on lithophanes. I did, however, goof and leave the depth of the one of Brystal at .25 and, luckily, it came out OK.

I share what SharonB stated about your lithophanes.

Look'n good George, what size are these? You're lucky the one set at .25 came out as I did that same mistake and it actually make a little hole where it was a white spot in the photo, had to scrap that one, but that is how we learn from our mistakes.
