Yes. Thermoform machines are currently being sold new from American 
Thermoform along with the special thermoform "paper" which is a plastic 
material.

There are still thermoform machines being used, but maybe not new ones for
sale.
You can make or buy a board with screen covering it, not directly on the
wood, but raised up a little.  Then if you draw with a stylus or other
slightly sharp object, you can make good designs.  It takes a little
practice.  The design is on the underside of the paper, but can be quite
distinct.  You cannot make a lot of detail, but good shapes.  Trees, suns,
houses, animals, and faces can all be made pretty well.

Does anyone remember the thermoform drawings?  Is the thermofor paper and
machine available now.  If so, maybe an object can be placed on the machine
and melted into the plastic sheet.

Hello Everyone,
I had an idea to draw around outlines in stencils to get realistic drawings
of objects, using a spur wheel. However, I've looked what stencils are
really used for and, based on that, I don't think I'll be able to do this
with them. I think they are really used for printing copies of the image
they represent.

I've tried typing in things like, plastic objects to draw around on paper,
two D molds for paper drawings... Has anyone got any ideas about what I'm
actually looking for? I really want flat, hard representations of objects
such as flowers and animals. I want all the elementslike lines and relief
presented as gaps so that I can draw around the object and my version will
look like the original.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PS I think I've finally got the curves along the right lines for my Celtic
Cross.
Very best wishes,
Sandra.
