30 Cal Bolt Action

One think about being a little slow is that your always open to learn more. At least in my case. I like playing with the vinyl machine and figured out how to do a few things that makes a cleaner image and much easier to do so. The flag is all vinyl on black cloth. Since the tube is on the small side the whole quarter looked award so I cut the state and star out. I used the gold trim to imitate the gold fringe that's sometimes around the flags in buildings. Questions and Comments Welcome.

Very well done. I like how each element came together.

Looks great Kenny! Nice idea and we'll executed!

Thanks Mark and John. I've been looking for a class to take to learn more about the vinyl cutting machines but no luck so far. I spend a lot of time starting over while setting up the image but at least it's easy to do that.

That came out great. I really like the deckled edge look of the state cutout. To me, that looks better than the entire coin would have looked.

Thanks for the compliment Todd. If I'd used the whole coin I would've still cut out the highlights of the center. I thought the rim of the entire coin was too big for the size flag I used. In case your not familiar with what I'm talking about here's a picture of a coin that's been cut. I copied this from a member Seamus several years back.
