I used a camera app filterstorm. After I changed the picture black and white I sent it skecthbook pro a messed with it some more.

Robert Lugo (author) last year

What's the name of the app?

Heshoo Orz last year

Sorry about that I used blank transparencies. I traced my design on that then I cut out the black parts. If you still are confused about anything feel free to keep on asking.

Robert Lugo (author) last year

Sorry I lost you on this step. What did you cut out on a think piece of plastic? You cut out the black part or white part? Did you overlay it with laminating sheets or plastic tracing paper? Really cool design. I want to try this but got lost in this step.
