I made a small improvement to my sunglasses.



Was planning to paint, but I wasn't sure how well paint would adhere to the hardened plastic (technically "Triloidtm Nylon") frames. Ended up printing a pic on glossy photo paper, turning it into a sticker with a Xyron Sticker Maker*, giving it a couple of clear protective coats, cutting out the two logos (one for each side), and then sticking them in place. Not quite as sleek as the painted-on look, and I'm not sure how long it'll really last, but for now, I'm happy. And, not wanting to waste too much of a 4x6 shet, I've got plenty of replacements available if I need them...

*Mine is the same model, but the casing is clear and the branding is from the Discovery Channel, not Tomy Cella, whatever that is.

The angle was planned, more or less. I wanted it from below, so it'd look cooler, and with my head to the side, so the logo would be visible. (As it turns out, you can see my hands holding the camera, reflected in the lens. That was unintentional, but... oh well.)

And hey, I smile for pics, usually. But this is serious business! :D
