@cynd11 knocked this one out of the park:
Been having lots of fun with my new Aura. I love the look of ceramic tiles and decided to reproduce the look, based on watercolor paper and resin. I like the mottled look of the watercolor.

The design is actually a dingbat from the København/Pictos font (it’s the capital letter C). I converted it to outlines and blew it up to about 3 inches square. The ceramic part was made by watercolor painting a Canson Watercolor Artboard. After cutting out the piec…
And this one too!
On my Aura, I cut some of these adorable 6 sided origami treat boxes (a free with premium Lia Griffith design) to give out some home grown tomatoes for a family event (my birthday in fact!) but cloudy weather abruptly stopped the tomatoes from ripening. So I filled them with white flesh peaches instead.

Materials: 80 lb scrapbook paper from Michaels, green grosgrain ribbon, fine brass wire for ribbon ends, glue. And peaches.
oh and @thesamenametwice did this really cool magnet idea:

I wanted to test out the new Aura and had this thought of a wood inlaid 3D printed fridge magnet. Anyone else done something similar?
Shameless plug, I posted this one:

Proof of concept here, settings in the pics below.
Quick and dirty alignment trick, blue tape on the honeycomb…

Line it up and score the outline…

When the score is done, you place the tile right on the outline…

Setup the engrave. I guessed entirely at the settings.

Engrave! (an hour or so to go a 1.75" square image)

Better light to see the depth of the engrave…

Gotta admit, we’re a little lean on projects posted as specifically made on the aura. It’s all so new, we’re all sort of figuring ideas out as we go!
If you see a project that you like here on the forum that isn’t aura-specific and you think it’ll be hard to reproduce on the aura point it out, and I’m sure someone will help you brainstorm on ways to replicate that sort of thing with the smaller laser. We love a good challenge!
