Laser-cut Paper

I took an Encyclopedia, ripped it apart, and laser-cut the hell out of it. Then, I re-bound it, and as I was brushing off the burnt dust in it, I discovered how each page showed a different pattern (a big book having lots of images), and how the letters looked on both pages (I’ll try…

Laser-cut-outs

Ta-da! Here are the results of the laser-cut messing around week. I found it extremely liberating to something with my hands, and feel it at the end of the process. I tried out different types of wood (letterpress!!), paper, cardboard, and acrylic. Loving the crisp edges of the acrylic, and I used some of my…

I heart Avant Garde

My current favorite necklace, bought on Etsy. Also, I just finished I love Type 02: Avant Garde, a book edited by Victionary, about the Avant Garde font used in many different projects. Inspirational and a nice visual break from the dense chunks of text I’ve been reading (as of late). ***Cheerful note: starting a laser cut…
