A versatile system, kit and method for a printing kinegram imagery with inked stamps enables users to place such imagery at desired, arbitrary locations on paper or other substrates, particularly useful in arts and crafts projects such as scrapbooking, and the like. A stamp has a surface having a plurality of raised and non-raised regions to produce a coded, printed kinegram image on a sheet of paper or other substrate. An overlay sheet with transparent and non-transparent areas corresponding to the raised and non-raised regions of the stamp, such that when the overlay is placed over the coded printed kinegram image, and one or both of the coded printed kinegram image and overlay are moved relative to one another, an illusion of movement or animation is imparted to a viewer. At least a portion of the stamp is transparent to facilitate precise placement of the coded printed kinegram image.

A manufacturing method of a picture comprises, disposing salt on a manufacturing board to form a salt layer, and coating and drying steps. In the primary coating and drying steps, polyurethane resin cured by exposure to air for about 10 to 20 minutes is poured onto the salt layer and the primary coating layer is dried in a condition of a relative humidity of 40 to 60%. In the secondary coating step, polyurethane resin cured for about 21 to 40 minutes is poured onto the primary coating layer and the secondary coating layer is dried in a condition of a relative humidity of 1 to 39%. In the tertiary coating step, polyurethane resin cured for about 50 to 70 minutes is poured onto the secondary coating layer and the tertiary coating layer is dried in a condition of a relative humidity of 1 to 39%.

An article of artwork having multiple images selectively viewable in different light conditions, the article comprises a substrate and a first image applied to the substrate using a first marking material. The first marking material is viewable under ambient and incandescent light. A second image is applied to the substrate using a second marking material comprising fluorescent compounds which are viewable under ultraviolet light. A third image is applied to the substrate using a third marking material comprising phosphorescent compounds which are viewable when the article is in a dark environment.

In an embodiment, a gift wrap is provided with a graphic. The user may customize the graphic with designs such as stickers, stencils, and stampers as well as with writing instruments. The user may also customize a design prior to placing the design on the gift wrap. The completed gift wrap can provide an educational experience for the person customizing the gift wrap while providing the recipient with a memorable package that a portion of which may be saved as a keepsake.

An apparatus and methods of decorating a metallic container are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods used to provide a decoration on a predetermined surface of a metallic container body. The decoration may be registered with decorations previously applied to the container body. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a screen print unit with a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body rotationally applies a predetermined type or color of ink or other coating, such as a varnish, to the cylindrical body. In one embodiment, the apparatus applies a varnish to a selected portion of the cylindrical body without applying the varnish to all of the cylindrical body. Additionally, the apparatus may also include a foiling unit that applies a label to the cylindrical body.

A method of digital continuous and simultaneous three-dimensional painting and three-dimensional drawing with steps of providing a digital electronic canvas having at least one display and capable of presenting two pictures for a right eye and a left eye; providing means for continuous changing of a virtual distance between the digital electronic canvas and a painter by digitally changing a horizontal disparity (shifting) between images for the right eye and the left eye on the digital electronic canvas corresponding to instant virtual canvas position; providing at least one multi-axis input control device allowing digital painting or drawing on the digital electronic canvas; painting on the digital electronic canvas for any instant virtual positions of the digital electronic canvas providing simultaneous appearance of a similar stroke on the images for the right eye and the left eye.

The present invention relates, in general, to a novel artwork surface and, in particular, to an ultra lightweight dispersed solid artwork surface and methods of creating artwork structures. Techniques are described herein that are capable of creating an innovative artwork structure. For example, a method of preparing a dispersed solid artwork surface, applying said medium to said dispersed solid artwork surface, finishing said dispersed artwork surface to create an artwork structure, and displaying said artwork structure.

Disclosed is a method for processing an ink, stone and oil painting, comprising the steps of: mounting a Chinese painting painted on a piece of Chinese art paper by hand on the base plate; determining a replacement part on the surface of the painting, and determining a sculptural material according to the contents of the painting in the replacement part, and processing a sculptural module; placing the sculptural module on the replacement part and fixing same to the base plate; and further processing the sculptural module and connecting same to the surface of the painting. Drawing by using techniques of oil painting and sculpture/Chinese painting makes the contents of the painting coordinate with the contents of a viewing surface of the sculptural module.
