[sdiy] Custom faceplates

[Wayne Dubois]

Peter,

Nice work on the panels.  I hope you allow us to see 'em when the work's
completed.

One thing.  Could you share what techniques you use to create the artwork?
I'm still in the early planning stages of my own modular and looking for
software that would give the results you have here, 'specially around the
pots, etc.

Thanks.
