Sanded and oiled front cover #desertbus #CraftAlong
More trip charms, but I'm having trouble thinking of what singular image will go on the back of all the charms for a BC road trip...
A few new charm designs today, still haven't decided what's going on the back of all of these for the road trip...
This guy is always hanging around my feet begging for food. We're both middle aged men, bud, you need to eat better than table scraps!
Another round of curing starts
#CraftAlong #desertbus
Need to remind myself that sleep isn't optional, but some trip token designs:
Now for a bit of sparkle, resin, and sand to fill the base and even everything off before the colouring phase
Next attempt at a front cover glued down, gonna give that time to cure then start filling those holes with resin #CraftAlong #Maker #LaserCut
There were alignment issues, but here's the full run of inlay tests.
Will probably make the light house about 25% bigger maintaining the top pole position.
Need to fix the alignment issue with the cup in general (think the belt slipped?) and the 3 top bits were very fussy to hold and glue, will likely avoid designs with pieces that small.
Quails legs/feet need to be just a shade bigger.
Still, the technique looks good, reduced laser time, reduced material costs, and I think it looks good!
Playing with different inlay styles, this little quail was cut rather than rastered (sides extended by 0.1mm for the kerf). Not a perfect fit for the rastered hole, but I think it looks pretty good and way easier to make! #maker #LaserCut

“Hey. Ya got any grapes? Maybe some broccoli?”

Gorgeous bird!

@pomegranate_stew I did share some salad at lunch, but tonight he was coming for pizza!

Crunchies! Mine would love crunching on crust, but I know the place we get it from puts garlic in it, so he doesn’t get any unless I’m having frozen pizza, and then just a tiny piece.
