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

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
