I forgot my first wand stands, inspired by @skeplin here: Harry Potter Wand Displays
Simple, yet cool. Have had several orders with names in the middle and school and house crests on the ends. These were a very quick, 'bout 20 minutes, concept to completed prototype.
THANK YOU @skeplin!!
Nice job – I love the Three Brothers design!
Holy cow! I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since I’ve posted in this thread! Should be no surprise I lost my ‘regular’ status. Well… time to stop lurkin’! It’ll take me a couple of days to get everything caught up… Here we go…
First up: Holiday Play Prop
Did a couple of signs with cardboard and spray paint for TheBoy’s school play. I also built the jail itself, though no GF help on that. Gives context for the signs.
Yet another Memorial Candle
Man I hate these, yet I love this one. Friend did a great design upgrade for her M-I-L’s family. This has so much potential… imagine a vase instead of a candle, and a Spring poem instead of a memorial.
A simple dog name frame for a friend to hang above the leash hook and food bowl. Black acrylic on the glass of an 8x10 frame with a wallpaper sample under. (I’m really enamored with these frames. I’ve since bought about 10 to 20 each in various sizes.)
A couple of Christmas gifts. (Yes, I know it’s March. They were done then, just didn’t post up. Leave me alone.)
Hamilton Jack - For the director of a play a friend was in. (More to come with the Hamilton Star Series.)
Gift card holders. A lesson in using the pathfinder tools in Illustrator to get the 3 shaped layers that would line up perfectly.
Ornament for a friends church.
Ornament for my local neighborhood association.
This was fun. For the day job. A sign for a research center on campus. This is a small prototype I made and they wigged out over it. (about 5x7)
Original plan was to do something much bigger for the final piece, but we were able to talk them down and keep it within the confines of the GF. Bought a pack of stand-offs on AMZ and love ‘em! So much potential. (Have you seen the kick azz business card holders using two stand-offs that have been floating around? So inspiring! Can’t wait to make some of those!) Anyway… this is walnut, birch, and acrylic. Since the stand-offs only have one “groove” to hold a piece out, I used acrylic rings around them to suspend the one layer between the back and acrylic. Looks so nice in the hallway. (Any bigger would have been too much says I.) They were absolutely thrilled! (Me too. #TTMF)
To be continued…
It’s good to be back!
Good to see you back…you’ve definitely been busy!
Wonderful scope of work!
Onward!
A couple of more family ornaments ordered by co-workers. This one was a good exercise in Illustrator design with “text on a path” and whatnot.
Co-worker did this design, then I experimented with materials.
And this, clear acrylic, etched in reverse on the “back” of the ornament was by far the coolest effect!
And THAT lead to….
These really cool, and yet stupid simple, pendants! I’m LOVING these! So are my friends. I posted them, and immediately sold 3, and had a special order rushed for Valentine’s Day for three for a friend’s wife and his daughters. I will make lots of these I’m sure.
I experimented a bit with two pieces of acrylic for a friend wanting a pendant with melanoma awareness ribbons. Needs some tweaking to get a clean finish, but I am happy with these ‘proof of concept’ prototypes. Perhaps a BIG order for these is in the works…
But wait! There’s more!
More jewelry…
Inspired by @ryan.huber this thread (Simple circular earrings), I started futzing with some jewelry ideas.
And last but certainly not least, another personal favorite… a Valentine’s Day gift to for my wife (and I). SUPER SIMPLE leather bracelets, with coordinates. (Our wedding location.)
The coordinate gift idea I think will be a big hit for custom orders. Bracelets, picture frames, simple key tags, date ornaments, wall/shelf plaques…
The “gotta create” artsy fartsy half of my mind absolutely loves this machine! AND this community! Thank you everyone, AGAIN, for your inspirations and generosity!
Thank you @bkressley! Can’t turn this thing off (my brain)… so many shiny objects and squirrels everywhere! Really need to pick a few and focus on them for the craft markets… but it’s so flippin’ fun to LASER ALL THE THINGS! 
Well, they’re all cool, but I really 
the bracelet idea!
No wonder you haven’t been posting. So many beautiful things!
Hey again! Been lurking (and commenting on occasion) but not creating too much. I have a few projects to post, but you know how it goes… (lazy bugger)…
Anyway, Jarvis Mk-III got called back to the university. So no lasering for me… for about 3 weeks! Ordered MY laser cutter the next day and Jarvis Mk-IV just got delivered. He’ll be up and running within the week. It will be sooo good to get back to creating! DayJob REALLY sucks right now, but dems da breaks. Will feel great to build my own business without the cloud of the machine not belonging to me.
Burn on!
Ever stumble upon a thread and then have to ask yourself “how did I miss this one?”
WOW! It’s been a year since I’ve posted anything new to this thread. I’ve made LOTS of things… But I obviously just post on theInstagrams.
I think I’ll start a new Crafty Cretin thread…
This is beautiful! 
Are you sharing the file for this by any chance? I looked but didn’t see it.
FYI, it’s against forum rules to ask for files. Folks will either post them, or have a link to their store in their profile or on their post. We don’t want to make people uncomfortable about sharing their art knowing they might get asked for files! If you want to guarantee there’s a file, check out the Free Laser Designs section!
I am so sorry!
I thought this section it was allowed, because I saw that some files were being shared but I couldn’t locate that one in particular. Thanks for the clarification.
