Happy Mother's Day!

I made these wood florals and signs for my mom & my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. All these items are made my me, although I didn't design the files, I did cut them on my Glowforge.

One mason jar is made with a clear acrylic front with metallic gold paint in the engraved areas of the jar for some added detail (but looks great without too) and the other is stained wood. Two completely different styles and yet, I think they are both lovely.

I've been trying my hand at Inkscape and was finally able to do a knock out. lol The struggle was real, but I'm happy I was able to be able to accomplish that, because now our moms have these sweet signs.

Here are some additional florals I've been working on. If you are interested in an unpainted floral DIY, please visit maddiemarrs.com. You may also email me at maddiemarrs@yahoo.com if you would like to inquire about something not yet listed.

Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day to all!

Are we Sleighin' or Slayin' ?

I hope you are having a great start to this new year! As I was putting up Christmas I thought about how I had not shown this cute wood round sign. I love that it can go up in October and stay up through Christmas. This sign gives me all the Hallmark feelings. I've been contemplating making a few of these to list. 🤔 I will get back to you on that. Speaking of Christmas - Anyone feel like it just zoomed right by at a high rate of speed this year? I totally did. Materials used: Wood, acrylic paint, gold, green and red foil paper and some rope and ribbon for hanging. Everything cut on my laser. Thank you for swingin' by. Until next time, Maddie

Can I laser on glass?

Conversation with myself: Can I laser on glass? Well, I don't know, I haven't tried. 😂 It was my first attempt at lasering on glass. Next time I think I will make some minor setting adjustments. Depending on the design, I may want the image to be a bit clearer/sharper. But, since this design is a bit cute, spooky and going to be used as Halloween decor in our home, it works. The black roses were made using my laser, wood with acrylic paint. I know this is short but I hope it was sweet. I'm not sure where October went, but I wish you and yours a fun and safe Halloween. Thank you for stopping by and, Until next time, Maddie

Gold Leafing a Boutonniere

It was my first time to do a boutonniere and I thought I would try adding some gold leaf foil to a few roses and see how they turned out. They came out very nice, I thought. Some Supplies used: Add the adhesive where you want. You can put as much or little as you'd like. I was going for a bit of a drip on one of them. I played around adding some gold leaf foil to a few leaves. It was a big rose and a rather heavy one at that, so I decided to just do the one and leave the other rose out. It would have been too bulky. Using some floral tape, floral wire and some hot glue I put the boutonniere together. For a soft more vintage look I added some vintage lace I had on hand and finished it off with some ribbon. This boutonniere was a hit and it was a fun piece to do. Thanks for popping in, Maddie
