I had an Art that I wanted to try engraving, but I knew I wanted it to stand on it’s own. I decided to go about in one particular way, started drawing it out, and ended up with something completely different.
So here is my first snap-fit project:
First draft, which I knew would never work: even if the fit is right and kerf doesn’t bite me, those tabs are just too dang small.
All together, with a large version of the art on canvas in the background.
(backstory: the art started as a photo, was hand-cut as an 8"x10" stencil, sprayed to canvas, and sold. 10 years later I found a photo of the canvas, and used Adobe Capture to vectorize it, combined the photo and the vector in photoshop, and printed it to the 25"x31" canvas in the last photo. That vector is what I started with this afternoon.) #process#NeverStopIterating
While the art is great, my eyes glommed onto the clicky joints. There are so many cool ways to make joints that eliminate glue and I want to try all of them!
Most excellent work there @jbv. Love the easle design!!!
That feeling of satisfaction when you realize the pieces fit is the best feeling in the world…lol. After 16 years, I still get that with new designs.
So, now that I see the artwork as a womans face (didnt realize what it was until I saw the large version behind them…) its really nice!
I first thought it was a graphic of the bottom half of Florida with some weird lines all around like wind shear or something to do with the hurricane…
Clearly I need more sleep.
LOL! Me too!!! And I have to say it’s much more awesome as a face. I’m going to blame it on talking to my wife about her sister in Florida just before looking at this.
I love this – especially the fact that you were able to recapture the artwork that left you years ago but in a whole new way… Never Stop Iterating indeed!
(I’m probably going to be saying “mind even blowner” from now on also. That cracked me up.)
