I couldn't think of any better place to put this question but if some sees it needs to be moved is fine with me. I have looked through some of the past threads on decal work for pens. I am looking to do some decal work on various sized pens. What I am looking to do is to get a photo of a waving flag (USA) and size it down to different pen tube sizes and then cast it in clear resin. I read about some of the pitfalls of resin rasing the decal and distorting the colors and all and I guess I will have to play with that.
My problem comes with doing the computer work. I have some Testors decal paper. How do I get a photo of a flag and make it the size I need to cover a pen tube, say a sierra as an example??? I need it to wrap all around the tube covering it entirely. How do I transfer this to the decal paper??? If someone could list some of the steps to get this far would be great. If you want to PM me that is fine (in case you don't want to be seen talking to me:biggrin I have photoshopCS3 if that helps. Would it be better to get labels instead and do this??? I have a HP inkjet printer.
Thanks for the help and replys.
