Yes? But it doesn’t require any technical skill to use their designer.

There is also a free site called Desktop Hero which works similarly.

Only works in Chrome.

I made this model several months ago using Desktop Hero:

Several of my students are interested in an “Anita style” wire wrap class. I’ll be out most of Sept. perhaps I can get it worked out for Oct.

Using templates (and lessons from the class) from @Webdevel, I made another passport wallet.

I finished a quilt. I used Big Thunder to cut the template to mark the edge scallops.

This was my first experiment with long-arm quilting (I took a class and then rented time on their machine). Here’s a shout out to @jrkriehn who came by the shop to offer her moral support!

Not including the cubes, the front is made from a single piece of fabric, which you can see on the back.

Quilt Front:

Quilt back (I figure if you have to piece it, you may as well feature the piecing):

EDIT: This is a “life-sized” lap quilt, about 60" long.

Any of these destined for the Lewisville event?

Clark made some things and had them casted for the the ceramics crew. Helped him finish them up a bit and the crew gets to learn some JSM skills to complete them later. Few ceramics Halloween items for a party.

I believe so, and some other things in addition. @brsims has the details.

Pretty much all of them (save for the “experimental steak turner” that just totally got away from me- that one’s probably destined for the scrap bin). Like @HankCowdog said, those and a bunch more.

I’m calling this my Bob Ross tribute piece as I added ‘happy little clouds’ to it. All my standard inlay woods: Mesquite, Maple, White Oak, Walnut, Bloodwood, wenge, Sapele on a white oak background. 18" square. I totally enjoyed doing this one.

So I took one of my OP art 3d illusion pieces and created an array of them for a wall sample. The detail can be seen in the 2nd picture. It’s a 18" square paulo dao (Philippines wood) veneer with a 1/16" plywood backing.

Last Thursday, I took @Lordrook’s resin pen blank casting class.

I peeked at my classmates’ blanks, and I think the three of them will be uber-pleased.
