It’s a bit late now, but here’s my contribution!
I made these gravestone place-settings for our halloween dinner party.
Then spray painted them with stone texture paint:
There were 20 of them, everyone got a unique headstone!
I also cut out about a hundred rats, bats, spiders and ghosts from black poster board to adorn the walls.

sorry… had no idea. that’s probably why i dont post.
It’s actually really helpful for folks if you post them – they just have to be in the right place, is all.
Here are my family’s Halloween costumes. Almost all of the leather work is done on the glowforge

great plague doctor mask! Is that your design or purchased? Either way it is very well executed! It’s a slightly different design than the ones I saw for sale when I looked quickly the other day.

Do you remember what settings you used for the curved glass? My brothers anniversary is coming up and I wanted to try glass but I can’t seem to find any recommended settings for glass.

Searching for “glass settings” found an answer pretty quickly:

From that search:
I’m going to move this topic to Beyond the Manual.
@tapoutms3 , you can try the settings below for Engraving on glass:
Power 100%
Speed 850
LPI 340
You cannot cut all the way through glass with a laser though. Make sure you use a film of liquid dish soap, masking tape or a damp paper towel secured over the glass to keep it from cracking when you are engraving it.
And
I successfully etched glass before the new settings took effect.
Here are the settings I used and the results I got.
To begin, I have heard the the cheaper the glass, the better the results with a CO2 laser like the Glowforge. You won’t get nice results on pyrex like you do on a cheap frame from the dollar store, like these.
First, I masked the glass; though others suggest a thin layer of dish soap is effective and easy to clean up.

How did you make these? They’re gorgeous! Did you need another machine or is it hand painted?
