Just finished a 5 1/2 hour carve of a lithophane for a Christmas Present for a dear friend that unexpectedly lost her mother about a year ago.




It measures 14" wide by 22" long. It has a 5" x 7" picture of both her parents at the top surrounded by mayhaw, followed by an 12" x 7" picture of her with her brothers, sister and mother.




Then at the bottom is a 14" x 7" picture of her and her husband, their children, spouses, and grandchild. It came out wonderfully. Now today, The shadow box is 1" deep frame with a mirror attached on the back panel surrounded by the led lights. The lithopane is inserted a 1/4" into the frame and the half rope glued to the top edge. Found this led light strip at Home Depot.




The photo on the left shows the carved lithophane in its raw form. The photo in the center shows the lithophane back lighted and the third photo shows the led light source.
