A little poetry with the Glowforge

mrtoad · August 30, 2021, 8:11pm

We have been doing a lot of projects with engraving and painting. It is something my wife and I do almost nightly. We don’t do a lot of build projects. These are a few of my favorites so far.

It doesn’t look like they posted for some reason.

What a wonderful way to spend the evenings together. Your painting skills are impressive. I love the US map.

The designs are great. The paint job is ridiculously great, especially on the map!

LOVE the map! There is so much inspiration in your post that I don’t know where to start. (I should probably start by turning on the Glowforge.)

So colorful! The quilted looking map is my favorite too.

and here I was expecting some haiku

Roses are red,
lasers are hot,
I need a new tube
my glowforge is shot.

Really love the colors. They make everything pop.

Fabulous! The boat one looks straight out of Yellow Submarine

FYI, if you hit post while they’re still processing the pictures disappear - and it’s not the fastest upload process

Thank you. Yes I would much rather do this at night than sit watching TV together. We have gotten my youngest to paint with us once but she lost interest quick. Still trying to get her to again though.

Thank you.

mrtoad · August 30, 2021, 10:37pm

Thank you. we have been having fun

mrtoad · August 30, 2021, 10:39pm

Thanks I wasn’t sure what happened.

And I agree. We list a lot of them on Etsy. For that one I described it as titanic meets yellow submarine.

Coming out great. And sounds like you are having fun as well, so win win.

About that Psychic Reader. We have one up the road a bit and they have a Walk In’s Welcome sign. I always thought it should read Walk In’s Expected.

These are all amazing. What a great idea to do these together!

Superb, a wonderful way to spend your time together and look at the gifts you’re giving to the world because of it!

MakerMatthew · August 31, 2021, 6:43am

She should definitely know you are coming in!

Love Madam Leota and the Eiffel Tower, especially the clouds! Nice work and it is lovely to find things to do together.
