Giftproject

Since everything is rather expensive here and I'm on a budget, I decided that instead of buying my friends homecoming gifts, I would make them with the laser cutter out of the scrap MDF and plexiglass that we can use freely. For most of my friends I will do earrings, since they are simple and easy to do and the can be done even from tiniest scrap pieces. For my husband, my goddaughter(Jemina) and her mother I wan't to do something bigger and more special. I have a couple of ideas for Jemina but none for her mother or my husband. But thankfully I still have time. Eight weeks of it.

Earrings
There are five friends I want to treat with a little pair of earrings. My best friend Heidi is going to get a pair of green plexiglass Snufkins. I actually even have the vector design for that one already, since Marko cut one out of his name tag. So that one's half way through. For our mutual friend Maria I would like to design something vintage inspired, not sure what exactly. Veera and Maarit are my classmates from school. Veera is a photographer and Maarit is now studying to become a physiotherapist, so I would like to make them earrings that resemble them. Veera might get a pair of cameras but for Maarit I will probably do a design that's a little more on the crazier side. For my newest friend Anne I wanna make something related to cows. Her last name is Kanttura and finnish that's a nickname for cows. And of course, if I have the time and energy, a couple of more earrings for myself wouldn't hurt. Tardis or Daleks maybe...

Goddaughter and her mother
I found these lovely animals and trees made out of MDF on Pinterest and I would really like to do a little set of forest animals and props for her. She would really like those. For her mother I also want to do something special since she has helped me so much during this spring. She's also a very dear friend of mine.
