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…
The cool part about these, is each shape will make two earrings, (for a two or three piece design) by taking every other size and combining them. Of course, they’d be different sizes, but just making two of any of them, will give two sets of matching earrings. Make sense? Also, each of these shapes, started out as a set of circles. I just started messing with the nodes in Illustrator and ta da! I had fun designing and burning them, though I still haven’t completely assembled them all. Old eyes and fumble fingers make assembly a bit tedious. But I’ve definitely caught the jewelry bug.
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!
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.
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.
the bracelet idea!
Are you sharing the file for this by any chance? I looked but didn’t see it.
