Wow scanners are not an easy feat.  At first my dad gave me a scanner, but little did I know that it was it too old for my computer, and I couldn't find a driver for it. So I had to try another scanner. So I used my roommates scanner, and I could get it to work either. I ended up staying up till 2:30 in the morning fighting with it.  Still nothing! So then I went home the next day, and used my mom and dad's printer. At first it gave me problems too, but once I figured out what program to use, I had plenty of success! Then I realized how fun it was. The scan is of a juicer. It is probably my favorite object. I also scanned a lei, and a cool pasta tool with a pink paper background for the plain scan.  I only edited the juicer, but cutting out the background and replacing it with black.

The edit I did is a combination of marbles, bugs, and lights.  My goals was to put simple and small objects together, to make a cool design.  I achieved this by cutting out the background and replaced it with a truer black. I then used the rotate tool to change all the shapes around! I think it turned out kind of cool! Who knew those shapes could make a cool design.
