Laser Cutting

Here is a selection of my Laser cut work 

Key and Coat Hooks 2016-17

Laser engraved onto recycled pallet wood. I've used a variety of wood from pallets. Hard wood oak & beech engrave well.

The more common softwood I engrave and then hand paint, like the multi coloured houses in Bristol.

This was a commissioned piece over a metre long Chrome Hooks and a shelf over the top.

The loose theme was Polar Express

Gingerbread Houses, cut in corrugated card and decorated. Held in place with magnets.

Jewellery

I designed this Hare and Swallow, for Alex Maxwell, which is part of her Jewellery Collection

Christmas Decorations & Cards

I began with a basic snowflake design. I have used it in my cards, decorations and the Harts Bakery Displays.

Different sizes of the same shape

 

 Bat Lampshades

Pop Up Shop at Windmill City Farm Bristol.

Since the beginning of the Summer I have been one of 18 Artists showing and selling their work at the Windmill City Farm in Bedminster, Bristol.

For the Christmas display I made a Christmas Tree from pallet wood so that it would act as a focus point for everyone's work.

The Christmas Tree in the 'Home Grown' Pop Up Shop

With a hole saw I drilled a 
hole through the centre of 
each piece of wood.
Then cut spacers to build 
gaps between each
 piece of wood.

Preparing the pallet wood,
 sanding each piece.

Aardmans Christmas Fair

Aardman Animations usually have a Christmas Fair where staff & freelancers are able to set up and sell their work

Set up at Aardman, in the new building, it went well
 (& a good chance to catch up with friends!)



Snowflakes a plenty

Them Owls, they get everywhere

The Victoria Park Pub Christmas Fair

Here is my stall at Victoria Park on Saturday 7th December, outside but not too cold and protected with great gazibo (thanks Mr's Bane). It went well and not far from home.

Shame about the rain at the end of the day, which ended on a soggy note.



A larger table and I've worked on my display techniques!
