As I mentioned on my small introduction, I have a dog. A welsh corgi cardigan called Roope. He is a wonderful and cheerful little dog who loves food more than anything and also loves to eat snow. For my last school project I edited a photo I took of him couple of winters ago (after he had been caught eating rabbit poo) and thought I should make something out of that here as well. I've already used the photo for weaving, I made some designs with the TC2 Jacquard loom in our school. They turned out really good, you can find pictures in my portfolio blog, Nahkaa ja nappeja at wordpress. So what to do with the picture then? I might do a pair of earrings also, but I decided to start with a bookmark sort of think. It will have a badge with his picture at the other end, leather cord in between and something wooden on the other end also. So I started with trials with MDF, which is not going to be final material for the earrings at least, but so I get more familiar with the cutter and finding out what changing all the different settings does to the image. The final material will be some kind of wood for sure, not just sure yet what. I'll have to look through the scrap pile. I did four test and the results are visible below and so are the info about the settings I used.
The original picture
The edited picture
The bookmark design
The picture engraved with different settings
The settings for the engravings
