Made myself a little award for finishing all three laser cutting classes at @thebuildshop today glad I still remembered what I learned in all those adobe illustrator classes in college! I am very excited to come back for their electronics and 3D printing classes. #diy #lasercutting #costumerlife #classes #crafting #tech (at The Build Shop)
I designed these lamps as my entry for a design contest.
It’s been a long while since I posted anything, but I am still working on new dice designs. In the meantime though, I have participated in the Trotec Design Awards 2019 competition with this design for two laser cut lampshades. I designed them to fit a basic lamp base and lamp cord from IKEA with the idea that these are available almost everywhere. They are made from lacquered birch triplex and can be assembled without tools or glue. The five-fold symmetrical flower shape is the result of the challenge I set myself to create an organic shape that does not immediately look like is was made from only flat pieces, and avoids using mostly 90 degree angles.
When I was doing some power setting tests on the laser cutter last week, I made the image backwards so I could try block printing with the acrylic plate. Today I gave it and shot and it worked out great! . . . #lasercut #lasercutting #blockprinting #handblockprinting #neonpink #speedball #magenta #yvrartist #maker #acrylic #womeninanimation #illustration #mixedmedia #geekcrafts #diylife #diy #makersgonnamake #processshot #printing #ink #madeinvancouver #goodluck #dice #dnd #dungeonmaster #swordandsworcery https://www.instagram.com/p/B14edasjyhR/?igshid=1hdwrabczohzl
I made these one eyed goat pins on the laser cutter at @makerlabs yesterday! I’m trying hard to repurpose acrylic scraps since I’m still learning and trying to reuse as much as possible. The eye pupils I filled in with red paint . . . #lasercut #lasercutting #makerlabs #goat #blackgoat #pingamestrong #pin #yvrartist #illustration #indieartist #acrylic #diy #lapelpin #womeninanimation #toolsforwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/B11ylLUjkmc/?igshid=11wp0jqtnfwuq
Possibly the biggest project I’ve ever worked on! This is a massive map of World of Warcraft as of Cataclysm (with a couple extra details). The whole thing was drawn on the computer with a little help from filters, and a lot of hours of drawing. It’s engraved on leather, hand stitched together, and mounted on wood planks.
I had to adjust the scale and relative position of the continents so I could make them large enough to see all the details and to avoid a huge empty ocean. This was a commission for a client, but I really want to make one with Pandaria included, I think that’d fill it out really nicely!
This was a huge amount of working hours to complete. I’m working on a making-of video for it. I’m also starting up a Patreon to support future videos and other things I want to move on to doing! Search me up on Patreon as Nappinkraken if you want to support me.
Finally finished the My Hero Aca wood decoration. After a bunch of testing with paint and stain and different things. I settled on doing more of a traditional stain. This was made on local cedar that I hand cleaned up and planed. The I laser engraved my design on the plank and stained it with a walnut tone. I also decided to pop out the logo with a thin piece of cedar which I think looks nice on it :)
This one is posted on my shop! If you want one and it’s sold out, please msg me. Each one will be unique since they’re made from different cuts of wood.
