Corian Color Lithophane Lamp!
Try saying that fast 5 times!
I made the entire lamp out of 1/4 inch Corian and cut the Litho with a 45 degree V-bit. In PhotoVCarve I set it up as a 0.03 ball nose bit with max depth at 0.15" and line spacing at 16%. I set Z-zero at -0.05, with the max depth at 0.15" I got more of a 3D effect than I would have at 0.1". I used a 23watt fluorescent light bulb and an outdoor light fixture.

I used HP color transparency film.
1st I converted the full color image into a CMYK image and then deleted the "K" channel which is the black or shades of gray that the lithophane already represents.
Then I glued the transparency to the back of the lithophane being sure to line it up just right. I used 3M's 77 spray adhesive.
I then gave it a light coat of mat white lacquer paint over the transparency so that the color "magically" disappears when the light is turned off... :idea:
