We can try. You'll have to print to several pages though.

You need to make sure "scale to fit page" or something similar in print properties *isn't* checked/clicked. It's going to be super-pixelated and rough if it's not a file that ends in ".svg", but if you're going to be smoothing out the line yourself, sure, we can give it a go.

I've always thought taking the image and using a projector to display it so you can trace it would be awesome.

see here. i got about 47 inches high on the white and 19 inches wide about where the bulk of the lion would be.



i would like to paint it up and let the group use it for it's demos or the VARF or whatever. if it's needed that is. Or I would just carry it to faires lol
