Here are the images of the PDF’s I plan to cut on Wednesday assuming the MDF I ordered comes in. The first four are my actual face sliced, while the last two are decorations to go around it. Blue is where it will cut, and red is engravings. Update: I have cut the bedground and…
Kerri Thornton: First Cut
Very late but… I chose to cut the doodle I did of a rat! (Not pictured are the zillion little test prints I did to figure out the settings). Right now I have it taped on my wall (that’s the blue peeking out from behind the arms, oops). Version that got a little too crispy,…
Layers Concept Sketch – Griffin Bowers
For my layers concept sketch I want to do a sculpture using depth and the infinity/lemniscus symbols. The concept of infinity and the shape of the symbol have always been very interesting to me so I want to do a repetition of the symbol to make it seem limitless similar to the reference I included…
Kerri Thornton: Layers Concept Sketch
I made a storybook-esque piece in Digital Painting that I would like to turn into a physical piece — the original work had a frame/border that I think would be neat to have going around the outside of the frame. I plan to split it into rough parts like in the black and white version…
Drawing #2 & #3 – Abbie
Here are my drawings 2 and 3. I decided to draw a vinyl turntable for my drawing 2 since I like to collect vinyl records and own a turntable speaker set. The blue color represents engraving, and the red color represents cutting. I don’t know why For drawing #3, I drew a bunch of circles…
First Cuts – Laura Pellowski
This is my long overdue first attempt at using the laser cutter. I am happy with the way my pieces turned out! The first drawing I attempted was my Drawing #1. I did a test cut and my settings seemed fine, but on the first attempt of cutting out the frog, most of my lines…
First Cuts
For my first cut I decided I wanted to cut my first drawing of the mindfulness symbol. The small piece on the right was my test cut and is roughly 2.75 by 2.75 inches and the bigger piece is 4 by 4 inches. I intended this to be a key chain so the smaller piece…
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…
Drawing #1 and #2
For the code generated drawing, I took one of the given codes that made the various shapes, deleted everything but the “flower” generator, then duplicated that section, which gave off this cool flower ring. For the raster drawing I did a simple drawing of a squished Kirby.
Layers Design (Concept Design) – Deidra Anderson
I chose the Taj Mahal as the basis for my layers project. I was inspired by some of the vehicles/earth scene drawings by Cove Marquetry (Examples – Image 1). I started thinking about old cars and structures like the Disney Castle, which I deemed too complicated. One of my goals as a traveler is to…
