I was hoping to laser cut this sign, but it was going to be very expensive to rent time for the engraving, but wanted to share anyway! I ended up cutting out a stencil on my silhouette and painting it.
I might add that all of these would be easy to do on the Glowforge right now. Do not confuse production issue delay with basic and advanced functionality.
Very nice. How did you do the white lettering on the wood objects? I am guessing that you peeled away the protective mask in those areas, applied paint, and peeled off the rest after it dried?
Really beautiful. The ketubah is great (laser cutters were not accessible to mere mortals back when we got married - so had an artist custom paint it with some of the flowers actually being little things about us, but you have to look close). Those trees are really a stunning highlight.
For the large map, I used my Silhouette Cameo machine to cut out a stencil. I design it in illustrator full size, then split up into 12"x12" pages, cut, and connect them on the wood using a straight edge. It’s a little tricky to avoid paint from going underneath vinyl. I have to play with various types of vinyl for different surfaces so it sticks properly. Also important to use really opaque acrylic paint. I actually find pulling the vinyl off before the paint dries creates better results with less undercutting. It can be messy, but you just have to peel straight up.
, of course!
thanks for sharing with us!
