First Cuts

On the left is Frogue, like vogue but a frog. It was my first cut and is part of a drawing of a frog dancing and hold a bucket up. On the right is a failed cut where something went wrong, and the laser burnt a good bit of my lantern panel. This was somewhat…

First Cuts – Mebi Nosike

This was one of my first cuts I forgot to upload the picture. I cut my AirPods design I had made earlier.

Mikayla Raffin: First Cuts

I used the image I created from the Drawing #1 assignment for my first cut as it was not an overly complicated design and I was able to both vector engrave and cut the image on a piece of cardboard. I chose to do my first cuts on cardboard because this is the material I…

Samy Rosenberg’s First Cut

I chose to cut my raster engraved design of my cat with bite written under it. I split it into layers in Inkscape and then moved them to RetinaEngrave. Each of the layers is colored a different color on my drawing and was engraved using a different power on the laser cutter. For the darkest…
