(4\/12\/21) As of right now, for my initial design the only thing I need to do is add the top layer over the raindrops to case it in. I planned to do this by using scrap pieces of wood from previous cuts and hot gluing them between the base layer and top layer. However, the scraps that I had are slightly bigger than the dimensions of the circle of the piece but when I go to cut additional pieces this week I will cut the sizes I need and do so. Which brings me to the next part of my piece. I thought about the piece and wanted to add more to the overall shape of the piece because I changed it to be a circle which I liked more than what I initially had but wasn’t entirely thinking that was the final shape. Because of that I thought it might be interesting to have the circle piece I have now become a pearl in an oyster or clam because in the raindrops are beach scenes. So I’m going to add additional layers to the piece in the overall background of the piece. The plans for that are in a photo below. Additionally while starting to cut the layers for the piece I wasn’t sure what the background of each of the raindrops should be or what the overall top layer of the piece should be. As a result, I tried 2 different top layers and tried the background of the raindrops being all different and then the 2 smaller ones being the same before deciding they should all be different. I also added some small details with pen and colored pencils on the different layers. A thing I learned while using the laser on the cardstock is that the material can only be cut and vector engraves won’t work. I had tried the laser at 0.1% and other numbers before 0.2% (which cuts the piece) and nothing appeared. I was able to have some of the stars stay in the piece even though they were technically cut because I had them on the 0.2% which cuts, but it cuts in a way where the parts will stay for the most part unless pushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
