Happy Halloween

A day late but still, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!



I used my laser to make this Addams Family Porch sign that I got from a blog, agirlandagluegun.com (click here). Check her out - her tutorial includes a free cut file! 

Here is the side profile. I'm not sure if you can see the engraving. I used 1/8" MDF and this one measures approx. 11.5 x 16. I used my passthrough on my Glowforge to do this size. I love that I have the option to make bigger projects when I want. Other materials I used was primer, acrylic paint,  and some acrylic glitter paint. I love the way it turned out and can't wait to use it again next year . . . or I might just leave it up in my studio. 😳😂 There are many seasons going on in my space right now, and it drives my kids crazy, so I leave it. 😂




I've been working on some Christmas items and I plan to have a post in the up coming days. Make sure you subscribe to this blog if you'd like to stay in the loop. 

Don't forget you can now find me on Instagram @maddiemarrs2020. 

Thanks for swinging by and until next time. -MaddieMarrs

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

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
