Painted Birch and svg cutting for easel

Everything Else
1

Hello peeps!

I have a couple of questions here that I am sure will be of use to a lot other creators.

I am making these 5" x 5" birch tiles with quote on them. An easel to go with then is too expensive for starting out. I had seen someone make a small rectangular cut on the bottom of a similar tile and then cut a rectangle of the same wood that went inside the opening from behind and this would make it stand. Now, I can’t find this item so I can ask the creator how to do the svg for that :grimacing: anyone here know what I am talking about :pray:

Second question. This girl is making these beautiful art work in painted birch, unfortunately she does not want to share where she gets the wood (I get it) so I am hoping someone can guide me to what paint I can use that will be safe for the glowforge. I order some birch from the guy that someone shared here and it’d on it’s way!

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to start paying for this machine :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:

I did look for easel in the search and nothing popped up. The one you shared is to hang the art. This is more of a desk piece.
But, I’ll continue to search and see what I can come up with.

@todd.hassell shared a tile stand in the Free Designs section I think, that might be similar to what you are looking for:
