I decide to work on some archeology concepts as I was overwhelmed with a Japanese artist, Katsuya, lately (amazing artist). And since I went to the maker space, I had the chance to look over many different wooden art pieces, I think working with more than one material will be a great challenge as different…
Layers Design- Hannah
My plan for the layers project is to replicate the map of the coast of Maine where I vacation in the summer. The project will most likely be done in three layers or so- the first layer being the background of the ocean (potentially painting it blue), the second layer being the coastline (hopefully made…
Layers Design – Imogen
Okay so this looks complicated but each colour is a different layer that will be cut. Some of the layers will hide some of the lower layers so the finished product won’t be as complicated as what this design looks like. The swirl (light blue, green-yellow, and orange) is going to be the bottom layers,…
Layers Design
The artists that inspired this design was Jen Stark for the concept of layering different colors and shapes that come together when viewed from different angles. In my piece I am planning to have the different colored flowers above the previous color so the image of my silhouette only comes out when viewing the piece…
Layers Concept Sketch – Emily
The artists I drew inspiration from for my layers design were Hazel Glass, Shadowfox, and Gabriel Schama. The elements from Hazel Glass that served as inspiration was that a scene was created from the layers and that the top layer was either a part of the piece or provided a view into the world within…
Layers Design, Alexander Breiling
Edit: I decided to completely change my design after thinking about it for a while, so here’s my new design. The inspiration and style is still pretty much the same. I’m taking inspiration from Tomsky, creating a 2d piece out of multiple different layers, each representing a color or object. The backdrop will probably be…
Layers Concept | Kat Valery
For my layers concept, I decided to go with my concept of making a statuette of the astronaut. I included all of my first round concepts at the end of this post, but I decided to go with a statuette because I wanted to have something physical that I could hold as part of my…
Drawings #2 & #3 – Sydney
It took me quite a while to make this post because I was having the worst time figureing out Inkscape’s controls and how to do the fill correctly on my drawing #2. But finally, here they are!
sameer: layer design
For my layer design I took inspiration from Gabriel Schama and Jen Stark’s work. In the below pieces, both artists have a large silhouette cut as the top layer and then the layers get smaller and smaller going into the material. In my piece I also started with a main silhouette design and worked out…
First Cut – Tia Mehta
So far I’ve only cut out my Perry the Platypus drawing. I really like how it came out, the only thing I would’ve changed is putting a whole in it to make it a keychain.
First cuts
My first wooden cut, they’re not too bad at all. I had sometrouble for opening the file on Corel at the makerspace, it took me a while but here are my results! The #1 Drawing is Dreaming, #2 is Fate and #3 is Rainfall in the Mountain King. I wish I did more laser cuts…
First Cuts (Designs #1 and #2) – Imogen
I had some issues with my exported files not containing all the drawn lines, but today the problem was solved! (kinda solved, I had to have the lines redrawn) I am happy with the way these turned out.
First Cuts: Kat Valery
I was able to make laser cuts for both my first and second design. In my first design of the lizard, I had found that some of my pieces were cut so thinly that it might become too fragile while being worked with. In my second design with the astronaut helmet I added a border…
First Cut – Emily
Drawing 1 cut during training.
First Cuts! – Michelle!
WARNING/TW: Same warning as before, where my second cut (drawing #3) contains nudity and mild self-harm imagery. Below are my first cuts, which came out,,, interestingly,,,
Hannah’s First Cut!
For my first cut I decided to cut my very first design on inkscape. Looking forward to many more cuts.
First Cuts – Amanda Smith
My little mushroom came out well, I’m just proud I used the laser cutter on my own. I photographed it sitting on my computer screen so I could choose a cute background for it and put it in its habitat with some friends.
Drawing 2 and 3
My friend sent me a design she liked for a simple tattoo the other day of three eyes in progression going from open to closed and I decided to make my raster drawing an alternate design idea inspired by the image she sent me. I drew a rough version on paper and used the trace…
Iris Morin: First Cuts
Hi y’all! Here is my Cactus for Drawing 1: I added the flower to have a whole through the design and couldn’t part with the positive part of flower so I added it to the arm. And here is my rastered Iris Flower for Drawing 2: Lastly, what I call Nautilus Shell for Drawing 3…
