Thank you! It’s all about the muscle memory, practice is key!

Ditto @cynd11! Just followed you on Instagram as well—I told myself when I invested in a Glowforge I was gonna spend more time doing lettering and calligraphy for stuff like this but alas, time has completely slipped away. (I teach typography and LOVE letters, but my “analog” skills are… lacking).
This turned out awesome! Guess I know what my New Year’s Resolution is (and no sense in waiting 'til then to pick it back up)!

No joke!
heh… to learn pinstripe painting from a master (different from calligraphy, but with certain fundamental similarities) I was told that you should start learning by painting a single vertical stroke. Then paint another as close as you can (without touching). Repeat 1,000 times.
Now you are ready to move on to the horizontal stroke…
After practicing basic 10 shapes you would have laid down 10,000 strokes, and would be ready to begin an apprenticeship (ie: watching the master, mixing paint, and cleaning brushes).

Outstanding!!!
Beautiful! But you make want to obfuscate Louise’s last name and street address. This is the internet after all. 
Thanks for the kind words!
Oh, good! I’ll cease my stalking attempt now then, I guess.

What settings did you use for the Mirri stock?
I made this on a makerspace 100watt laser cutter not the Glowforge so the settings would be different. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!
