I love the barn best also. It’s fabulous! Love the barn quilt.
Although I love the beach scene, I think I agree with several others that the barn is my favorite, even thought it isn’t my ‘style’.
I like this!Im definitely inspired.
Thank you The cow outline just organically happened… one of those design elements that happens from just playing around in illustrator.
At first, I thought the beach scene was mountains rather than clouds, but yes the barn is way more complex and would seem a different category from the others. All are wonderful
The progression was mountains, then beach and last barn. I seem to be getting more detailed as I go LOL!
Wow. Super impressed.
Unreal. Very inspiring work!
Beautiful work! How many different wood types
in each piece?
Amazing!
I use Mahogany, Maple, Cherry, Red Oak, and Walnut. I used the same in every piece with no additional stain… The color way I think is what pulls them together.
Amazingly beautiful!
Now that you mentioned it, I can too. Spring can’t come soon enough.
Subtle can be effective,
Nice work…
Beyond Awesome! What an inspiration!
this is my favorite thing I’ve seen here so far. LOVE them.
Thank you!!!
I am in awe! Absolutely stunning! I can barely engrave and cut and have no idea how you did this. Can you briefly explain the process?
I draw/sketch the scene on paper. Then recreate it in illustrator. The landscapes are like a puzzle. Most of the pieces are cut and sectioned off by species of wood. Think of the picture like a color by number. I did score and engrave the wheat in the barn landscape. For that area I created a rasterized image of the wheat with 3 colors, white, gray and dark gray. I then placed score and cut lines on top of the image… I used draft quality and high quality score lines using 2 different colors so I could tell the glowforge how to score. The engrave was draft photo with varied power setting.
Once everything is cut, I place the pieces back together and glue them to a backer board…
Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing. I’m just happy if I can engrave a photo
