Experiments with laser cutting
I watched a video tutorial about making plexi inlays in mdf by the previous finnish interns and followed the instructions to make my own key chain. The pieces fit really well and I decided to try something else with the same technique. I really like maps, so i thought about making a map of central Reykjavík while mixing laser techniques, engraving the roads and cutting away the ocean and ponds, replacing them with blue plexi.
I fetched the map from google maps but before I started vectoring it, Linda suggested that I'd try rastering the picture rather than engraving it. That seemed like a good idea, and I went with it, while still cutting away the water areas.
