Wedding Gift

I finally started working with tile. I have several projects, but this is the one that turned out OK. The tile is a ceramic floor tile. I noticed that the glazed surface is really thick and the laser didn’t go through it all the way, so the Sharpie tinting didn’t stay on very well. I will have to keep trying.
The design was made by the bride for the invitations, which where also cut on the GF. I added the lettering and adapted the design a little.


I cut the stand out of Medium Maple Plywood. There are a couple of hinges on the back and the tile sits in a notch which keeps the stand at the right orientation so everything is stable.

Very pretty. I’m really liking these vertically oriented tiles I’ve been seeing.

Really nice. Next time bump the power, slow the speed or do a second pass and you’ll make it through the glazing. Tiles are cheap enough that the major investment is the machine time to see what works :slightly_smiling_face:
