It was a good week. I was brave TWICE at the space. Once when I put into play my Shapeoko 2 training to carve cork and then linoleum. The coaster was a test piece, then a big stamp with my initials (because it was either that or the DMS logo…) and also a tiny stamp for someone else at the space.
Then I was brave when Chris from woodshop held my hand and I made a first cut with the table saw outside of class. (Used the chop saw - I know, we don’t call it that - for the backs of the stamps.) The print is laser toner affixed to a scrap piece of 1/4" birch plywood with a transfer technique. I finished it with wax and then rubbed it in using a sander in woodshop anchoring a piece of freezer paper waxed side down.
I learned a lot going back to this technique. Will definitely do it again just as soon as I remember how I managed to get a color print from the copier.
I love the way the grain of the wood plays with the sky and the tone of it glows through the tall grass.

Three more. Still figuring out a best technique. Not as happy with the one on acrylic as I thought I would be.

Last one. 5x7
