Laser Cutting!

I’d already done some samples on my netting to test out the capabilities and compatibility of the pattern, net and laser cutter. Today I properly cut my lace design out :3

It was a little tricky to do because to repeat the pattern you have to be really careful about matching it up - which is proved difficult on the machine, so some of it’s not perfect but I’m happy with the result.

Photosss…

Little preview of my design:

I forgot to take a camera to take progress photos (argh!), but here’s an old photo of what the laser cutter looks like in action:

(twas a plastic book cover)

The cut out net ^o^

Some bits are falling weirdly because of how I’m holding it, but I think it looks pretty goood.

On my head lol >.< I think it looks nice layered up; you can just about make out the owl  :3

I’m planning on using it in some of my shoots and possibly in the final installation of all my work.

Paper Cutting

Current inspiration: ‘Wycinaki’ a traditional Polish folk art involving cutting patterns into paper. I love the symbolism and symmetry and how they tell stories. Google Wycinaki for more examples.
