cutting a plaque
The last few weekends I have been working on a prototype plaque for an organization. I made a vinyl stencil, scroll-sawed around it, then masked off the edges and painted. I need to get a laser cutter, I could crank these out in minutes. This is just a process shot I took while cutting.
Tennessee Home
Last post for the weekend, I made some more state shaped Home stickers on a 1′ x 2′ sheet of vinyl I had. Designed in Inkscape and cut on my Silhouette Cameo. Vinyl from here.
I’ve also added a new guardian to my desk to ensure my boys aren’t eating anything when they use my computer. I’m worried what shenanigans these two might get into though when no one is looking.

all the kittens
I finally got all the kitten vectors finished and cut out in time to not do anything kitten related this weekend. Meow!

Blessings Painted Sign
My buddy back home sent my the finished picture of a painted sign he did for a relative. He found inspiration on the internet and I helped with the vinyl.
tshirt eagle
This is a textured render of a quick eagle design I whipped up the other day. The design was for a vinyl transfer to a t-shirt for a good friend making a career transition. I left off all the sarcasm from this version of the design.
seven squares a day
Some good friends of ours saw a cool Hobbit kitchen sign online that they liked, so I recreated a vinyl sticker for them. I also made some masks for cutting the top and bottom of the board to match.
art & crafts door sign
This was another decal I made for our families door, with some traditional arts and crafts roses.
crafty roger
My sister-in-law is a crafty knitter and painter, and she asked me to make version of my nerdy roger for her. I cut out a couple of stickers in different sizes and colors.
minion jewelry hanger
For Christmas, I made my wife a jewelry hanger with a vinyl initial on the front. Her sister had asked me to make her one too, and I took just a smidge of creative license.

sweetie pie shirt
My wife had another cute shirt idea for her friend’s little girl, so I got to play around with some heat-transfer vinyl this weekend. In all, it was fairly straight forward, though the silhouette brand’s instructions for how long to apply the iron seemed a little excessive. The silhouette brand vinyl was also pretty expensive, ~$15 for 9″ x 36″. I’ll have to see if I can find a slightly bigger size at a better bargain at signwarehouse.com
UPDATE (7-23-2013): I got an action shot of the little lady enjoying her custom shirt!
