I have had a stack of children’s art project on my desk that have needed to be scanned for weeks. I decided to take care of that today and started the process. Some had to be scanned in two part on the flatbed scanner and then re-assembled in GIMP. Others were sent through the sheet-fed scanner. The kids slowly trickled into my office to see what I was doing and to watch me at work.
When Greyson finally decided to take a look, the task took a new twist. He decided to smash his face against the flatbed scanner. I told him to close his eyes tight and then hit the scan button.
The result is quite funny! It really looks like he ran face first into a sliding glass door!
That of course led to the rest of the kids wanting to scan themselves. The little girls were too scared to do their faces, so they scanned their hands. These turned out awesome, so I decided to have all of the kids do it. The result was the image at the beginning of this post. I think this will make a great Mother’s Day present for Michelle. I am also working on getting my siblings to scan their families’ hands and will do a compilation for Mom for Mother’s Day.
I had a great time with the kids and playing around with the scanner. Who knew that scanning could be so much fun?!
