Floral Vase

I did one sized for a Macanudo glass cigar tube. I have a few of these. I like to repurpose stuff. Mine doesn’t have the pizzazz of your but it looks good in walnut. Thanks for the inspiration.

This was Leon’s last job before packing up.

I used the vector version of my floral vase file for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and started to add a little bit of color like I had done before…except then I decided to add another color, and another one…and pretty soon I had colored a whole side of one of the fins. Which meant that then I had to color the rest of them. I didn’t count the number of hours I put into it before finally finishing it, but there were a LOT of them!

“Color It” gel pens on the surfaces, oil markers (I don’t remember the brand) for the gold edges.

What did you color it with?

Also. where do you get the glass to go in it to hold the flowers?

I used gel pens (“Color It” brand). I used them because they’re what I had, so don’t be afraid to experiment with other types.

It doesn’t have a glass in it; I’m planning to eventually make some wooden flowers to go in it, but have only got one made so far. (I get distracted with other projects!)

I LOVE this project! Thank you so much for sharing!! Glowforge and Inkspace are totally new to me. Could you please tell me how you “cropped down a free coloring page design”? I’d love to make this for a friend with an ocean critters etching, but I don’t know how to do that.
Thank you!

I wrote a tutorial on how to do it in Affinity Designer (Cutting out rasters in Affinity Designer) but someone better with Inkscape than I am will have to chime in and tell you how to do it there. Best I can offer is very general – you’d probably need to create a clipping path to cut it out, then rasterize the resulting image, since the Glowforge doesn’t understand clipping paths.
