    Fairies on Canvas

    Took another break from cutting acrylic to make a tote bag for a friend. Nothing fancy like you guys have been posting lately with the great wow factor.




    Did this one the other day. I just thought the tile was interesting.

    I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

    Nice work. What kind of power/speed did you use for the canvas?

    According to my Job Report, which I am really struggling to remember to do on every job, the speed was 100, power 35, PPI 400 with LaserPro 60w. I also made a note that I need to run a test with an increase in power to 40 in hopes of a little darker burn.

    The tote bag is bloody amazing! What do you mean no wow factor? Great job. Please don't be offended by what I say next, it is intended as a constructive critism which I believe we all want. The granite is nice but your Conche shell I suspect has been engraved with a positive/negative issue. See this copy of your image in negative and you will see what I mean.

    They are very nice, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only fan of lasering textiles. I love the effect on jeans. None of the jeans in my house have been safe from expirimentation.

    Not offended at all, criticism welcome! You are correct. For some strange reason I couldn't get the clip art file to go negative. I just did the piece actually to see what effect I could achieve with the green marble. It had been sitting around the showroom for about five years. You know I always appreciate your input!

    Dan,

    This is my first attempt on denim. Thoughts/suggestions/criticisms welcome from any and all. Thanks!

    Frank,

    So, how was the trip? I don't recall seeing a thread detailing all of your adventures. Did I miss it somehow?

    Hi Belinda,

    Thanks Judith. I don't do a lot of wood currently, but need to practice some. I may be calling on you for advice.

    Thanks Garry! I think the canvas bag is good work, but it is nice to hear it from others.
