A new toy

My new thermal imager from Panenka Design arrived today... I quickly burned a few screens using images I had prepared. The prints are far from perfect, but for a first try, it's not too bad.
There are so many ideas I want to try...

On the quilting front, I'm making a little piece that I cannot show yet because it's a surprise gift.
And the knitting bug is back! I'm busy making myself a new pair of socks. Actually, I was almost finished with the first sock when I decided it was too large... So, no picture either!

Is this similar to the Gocko printer? I love the larger image you show. Did you creae that with India ink? Have fun!

what is a thermal imager? I went to the link you had but it's all in another language I don't speak.

You lucky thing!!! I've wanted one of these for ages, I used to love screen printing at college, but have not been able to do it since I left, only with a template on the screen.
I've looked on the net for an English speaking site, but I just wondered if your link does it cheaper. Can't find it on there as I don't know what to look for.
I love the top right image, it looks like a rose.

I looked at the link, however it appears to be in German? Wondering if it can be purchased in the states. Very interesting, can see flowers, bird in the top right image. Love it all.

Hi Francoise,
Love the screen of the water reflections - what a great idea.
I recently purchased a thermal imager from Panena Designs as well. So I've been having great fun since then making screens out of some of my photographs.

It's a Thermofax machine, isn't it?? Paneka sells them in Europe. I don't know where one gets them in the US, but they don't seem too hard to find. I had really enjoyed Gerrie's when we had our play day together. Francoise, the graphic images one gets with these machines fits your clean styel of working so well. I can't wait to see what you make with this new tool!
