First Cut! Butterfly/flower ornament

Just received my Glowforge today! I could hardly stand the wait much longer. I’ve learned as much as I could over the past month and I think I have a decent handle on a good bit of it so far. However I’ve only used Proofgrade materials so far. Here’s my first cut. So excited to see what else I can create!

Congratulations for doing it right! Far better to learn the programs before receiving the Glowforge so you can get such great results the first day. The designing and cutting are very different things and it is really silly to wait till the machine arrives to figure out inkscape or similar.

The piece is quite beautiful. :heart_eyes:
