Scanograms

Scanograms

You will need a scanner

Some flowers and leaves of your choice. All mine were picked fresh from our garden.

A piece of material or paper that will cover the scanner and flowers when they are in place.

Lay your flowers on the scanner face down-the ones that go on first will be the ones that are predominant on your scanogram.

Keep building up layers of flowers and leaves to make a picture. You need to use your imagination a bit to do this so it is best to start off with just a few flowers and leaves until you get the hang of it.

When you are having carefully arrange the material or paper over the arrangement so that you don't disturb it. Then scan this into your computer.

That's it basically. By using different backgrounds you will see different effects even with the same arrangement.

These can be used to make gift cards that are truly your own. Or use them as artwork when you need a copyright free picture.
