So, a lot has happened since I first ordered my Glowforge. Because of a move and building a new home, I had no place for my Glowforge to call home until about six months ago. Then my mother got sick, and getting her to the right doctor to find out what was actually wrong with her and get her well became my soul focus. My hobbies have been on hold.
Long story short, she’s getting better and The GF has finally come out of nearly two years in storage. And works like a champ.
The Gift of Good measure, of course was the first cut. My niece, however thought we needed something special, so we used some of the art I had on my computer and made a Skyrim themed pendant. Only appropriate, since we named it “Dawnbreaker.”
Well, I’m not much of an artist like the amazing company I share here, but I was playing with some Celtic knot patterns a couple of years ago in Illustrator. I have wanted to 3D engrave this one for a while.
Sadly I lack the Illustrator skills to size the inner circle correctly, so I can’t use it as an escutcheon. (It also potato chipped badly). But here’s my first original design anyway.
To get that circle (or anything else) the exact size you want in Illustrator, select it then go to the Transform panel and type the exact width (W) and height (H) you want. You can change those values independently if they are unlocked or proportionally if they are locked.
