some laser tests

These aren't anything special but just some tests to experiment with the laser.


First are a couple of wood tests, the amount of burn could do with some fine tuning but they are a pretty nice start. At the bottom is my memory stick. The painted steel lasers really nicely, I got the file a little crooked though!

More laserin'

I am going to do a lot of these little buildings. They are fantastically quick to draw, cut and make. With a light inside they will look great in the winter months (especially around christmas time). I plan on drawing up a whole town. This is a little chapel.

Laser cutting!

Yesterday I took delivery of an amazing tool. A 40watt CO2 laser with a 24"x12" bed. I have wanted one of these for over 2 years and now that i finally have one it is so exciting to finally be able to put so many of my ideas to use. I hope to get to the point where I have a range of affordable and unique items.

a small taste of the stuff I have done is here. First up is a personalised notebook. This is a really easy and effective thing to do and turns a plain and anonymous notebook into something special.





Next up is a quick light i came up with at the end of the day today. These can be in all kinds of colours. I think with my details on they make a nice little promotional tool but with just the snowflakes they will make a really nice window light.

Great big THANKS

More fun with cut outs. These Thank You cards are made to order and can be done in any number of colours. There is plenty of room left inside for a personal note incase you feel the point of the card doesn't get across!! These work best for people with shorter names but I'll give anything a try to see how it looks.

Baby announcements.

2011 seems to be the year of the baby, so I have been trying to develop a few baby announcement cards in honor of my new niece and niece/nephew. This is my work so far...
