Kirk,

In the first message about this die, you mentioned that it was 25 inches in size. Did you mean 25 mm?

Nice shot, Kirk! I remember trying something similar back in the '70's with a bellows and a reversed Pentax 50 - absolutely no comparison. You could sort of tell that mine was a chip if you squinted hard :-/

That 3E trick is pretty remarkable. What made you decide to try it? It's not a configuration I would have ever thought of. BTW - what was your light source? You mentioned EPY in the original post - dis you use plain old quartz lamps?

Kirk- The thing is beautiful! Looks like the window treatment on a Frank Lloyd Wright house. It would make a great design for tiles on a wall.

the die is "point" 25 inches or 1/4 of an inch. This scan doesn't quite do it justice. The original scan is 12 by 12 inches at 300 dpi.

very cool, kirk! 0.25 inches or about 6mm square, eh? Not bad at all.
