Wood, acrylic, holiday, ornament

We moved into a new house this year and I wanted to do an ornament to celebrate. I didn’t have a translucent blue acrylic, so I ‘painted’ on some alcohol ink and engraved through that. Engraved out a space on the back of the base to glue in the 1/16 acrylic. Prettry happy with the results

Nice job on that! With the alcohol ink you can make an acrylic sheet any color you like.

Wonderful idea to paint and then engrave your design. The ornament turned out beautifully and is something you and your family will cherish. Congratulations on your new home too.

I’m jealous. We’ve been in the new house for a year and I’m only just now getting all my laser stuff unpacked & sorted out. No chance I’m going to be making even a “2nd Christmas” ornament :grinning:

That’s lovely! Are the stars and the house filled with gold paint, or is that gilded?

No, it’s just the engraving of the clear acrylic that have been painted with alcohol ink before engraving.
