Step 3Finding images for engraving effects

Finding images for engraving effects
For the engraving on my pendant I was thinking of using a butterfly shape and tiling it over the entire shape. I Google Image searched butterfly and some great images showed up for engraving.

Good images to look out for have simple shapes and outlines. They also have nice clean backgrounds. This will help make things easier :)

Save the image or images in a folder on your computer. You'll be using these later.

You should definitely be careful about using images off the internet and make sure any image used is under a permissive license (creative commons would be lovely). Otherwise, you run the risk of creative an unauthorized derivative work and setting yourself up for a copyright infringement suit (not fun). There may be some fair use arguments but that's a very narrow defense, especially on commercial products (even if relying upon a small amount of a copyrighted work).
