Re: pic: Unshrunk Duckies in a Row

Yes, when I save my graphics files I always save them at about 50% opacity because as the plastic shrinks, the color intensifies... I know where to find my ducky next week (I'll be working with you!)... here's a tip for those wanting to make shrink art for cheap - the #6 recycling plastic lids that often come on takeout food containers or bakery goods will work in the oven. (I would not recommend using them in your inkjet printer although the sheets you purchase at craft stores will work (no LASER printers!!!)). I recommend safety precautions - you might want to use a small toaster oven which is exclusively used for shrink art and not to prepare food in, and use in a well-ventilated area (although I've never smelled any fumes, I would assume some emmissions are given off during the process of shrinking). Look for these ideas and other "team spirit" ideas in an upcoming NEMO white paper!
