And so many more than this!
These are for sale with or without the frame. They are layers of cardstock and are so adorable. A great way to personalized your family picture wall. There are way more options than pictured, just ask me if I can do what you need. Can also customize the colours and picture openings for most of them at 1, 2, 3, or 6. They are 12″x12″ and $10 without a frame or $25 with a black or white frame.
A cool finding
We just put in some new flooring and had a bunch of leftover end pieces. I decided to play around with them on my laser cutter and found something fun. Depending on the settings, the result is either black or white on the same piece of wood! That’s really wild. I have yet to think of something creative to do with that knowledge and leftover floor boards though. Any ideas?
Lots of work but nifty
There is a shop out there that has so many patterns for shadow boxes for every franchise you can think of and they have so many I would love to make. They take quite a bit of effort. You have to cut all the layers then assemble them with foam core borders in betwwen the layers to separate them. I made a cardstock frame which is a bit flimsy but I think it would look great in an actual shadow box frame. Then there’s the whole lighting business which I really haven’t figured out yet. But these are cool and I like them a lot.
Keychains too
This was just too cute to not make. Just a wee camera that I put on a keychain.
Fun and challenging
I made the Love Is puzzle for my niece. It’s a fun puzzle as it’s not your standard puzzle shape. I painted the back red to make it bit easier to know which side it the front. The box puzzle lower down is really challenging and I have no idea if it’s even solvable without knowing the answer but it’s fun to try.
Can engrave on canvas too!
This is similar to ceramic tiles. You paint the canvas first. Either just black or layers of colours. Then the paint layer gets burned away exposing the white canvas or other colours underneath I have just done the one wolf so far but and just with back paint but I have seen some amazing pieces by other people and want to do more experimentation with colours to get that good.
Can engrave mirrors too!
Well you actually engrave the back of the mirror. The coating gets burned away leaving the glass exposed to varying levels. The result is stunning, especially when illuminated from the back. I plan on making a much larger (12″x12″) version on the Terminator and mounting it in a shadow frame with lighting in the back. But it will take about 9 hours to engrave it so I need to carve out a day for that.
A neat way to bend wood
I wanted to make this box because it invloves a method of cutting wood in a sort of accordian pattern to render it bendable. It’s pretty cool and worked great.
A layered map of London, England
Made for my amazing sister Rachel and her family who live across the pond. Brought it to them when I went to London for the first time in June 2025. It was a great trip and I’m super grateful to have been able to stay with them there. I hope they like their present. There are other cities as well if you want to purchase one.
A layered map
This is 6 layers and I probably made it too small because some of those islands were so teensy tiny that I could barely find them under the honeycomb when they fell through. But I still managed to pull it off to an acceptabel level. I think it looks pretty anyways.
Another personalized game board
I remember playing this card game with my family a lot. It was our quality time together and always a good time. The rules were just on a piece of paper that was well used and tattered. We still play when we get together at my sister’s house and she plays with her family as well. I found this pattern on Etsy and tailored it to our rules. You can also keep track of which round you are on with the pegs. Apparently there is a spelling mistake (oops) and a few alterations need to be made but it otherwise works pretty great and is better than a worn out piece of paper. And it’s personalized!!
Personalized too!
Made on order for a co-worker. This was an abitious piece for a novice laser cutter such as myself. I think it turned out pretty good though. I even personalized it for an extra special touch.
