Living in a coastal area, I used a whale tail, waves, hearts, peace sign to compose this multi-layer illustrator image. Learned a lot about illustrator (combining arcs into a shape is surprisingly hard). And I’m sure I did a lot of things the hard way (in both illustrator and creating one SVG per layer … only to realize I could have each layer be a different color and use the web UI to ignore the layers I don’t want to cut… next time)
WOW! We need more projects like this. Regardless of how long it took you to do this, the results are great. I always look at my projects that took a long time and thank them, because I may learn the hard way, but I learn how to do it because of it.
I’m waiting on more paper. In the mean time I decided to start publishing my notes again. I’ve posted more notes about the process and shared the SVGs on my site http://m4ke.org/projects/alien-love-worm.html
Saw this linked to from the Glowforge twitter account and loved it- I’ve been doing some much smaller experiments in a similar vein but need to study your tutorial on Illustrator to understand how to get so much more fine control!
