CEELITE : LEC Panel

Introducing you my new toy - CEELITE LEC Panel!!! This is a cool stuff. It is similar to a light box except in a thin portable panel.
I was first introduced to this gadget during my Islamic Codicology course in Cambdrige University recently. This panel is placed beneath a manuscript paper and the light will project out through enabling us to identify type of paper whether it is oriental vs western, analyzing laid line vs chain line as well as finding out if there is any watermark or other mark which couldn't be seen under normal lighting.
I ordered this item from Ceelite distributor company based in USA. I have now 3 different size of panels - A3, A4 & strip. These panels will enable me to work with different size of manuscripts which are in my possession. I am happy with this product.

LOGAN Mat Cutter 700-s

I purchased this cutting tool few weeks ago. The feeling is just AWESOME!! With this tool, I could cut & design my frame mat in a professional way. I remember in the old day I used to cut a mat with a blade and pathetically created a v groove on its surface which panned out with sloopy looking. I dont want to explain further as some people dont really understand what I am talking about. Just look at these pictures and you will get it.

This is the tool. Actually its a combo of mat Cutter 700-s + V Groover 703

This is the initial product

And walla!! The finished products

And what can I do with this mat?? Here's what I am talking about..making my work of art or antique leaf looks gorgeous!!
