I love making things on my laser . . .

I can't stop guys!

I know I haven't been posting as much as I should, but boy I promise you, I do craft and use my laser often. I literally look forward to getting up and getting ready, just so I can jump on my laser or paint and put together something I cut.

I will be uploading some more pics to my Instagram account. I can be found @maddiemarrs2020.

Here are some projects I worked on for July 4th.

The banner was made on 1/8" baltic birch wood. I used acrylic paints to paint the pieces other than the stars. For the stars, I used some silver foil leaf paper for a little pop.

The Solo cup and marker holder - Done in 1/8" baltic birch and stained with blue stain and engraves. I currently have some listed in my Etsy shop. Not only is this fun to add to any event, its a great way to make sure your guests mark up their cups. Hopefully, one never has to lose another cup at a gathering again. ha!

Round July 4th sign - Done in 1/8" baltic birch. painted using acrylic paints for everything but the stars, which was done with silver foil leaf paper. I made the flowers out of fabric and cut out some bigger star pieces for the center, to add a little detail.

Here is a side view of the almost 12" round sign. The white stand was cut on white acrylic.

Have I mentioned how much I love my laser!

'Til next time, keep crafting!

Halloween Ghost - Tic Tac Toe Game

What a fun classic game - Never gets old. This cute ghost game set can travel with you, or help time pass if you are waiting for an appointment with your special ones. Because come on, who doesn't love to play tic tac toe and silently compete? 😂 Using my Glowforge laser, this cute ghost was cut and engraved on baltic birch wood. Acrylic was used for the games pieces (ghosts/pumpkins). The ghost is approximately 5.12 w x 6.5 h. If you are interested in one, you can find it by clicking on this link: https://square.link/u/c8P7PpVi -or- by clicking on the SHOP tab listed above. 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
