Yesterday's Ecoprinted Accordion Book workshop was Yesterday's Ecoprinted Accordion Book workshop was so much fun. We decided to print more, so we never finished our books. 🤣 That's OK. We roll with our participants and, hey, I didn't want to stop, either!

Definitely going to have to add a day-long ecoprinted paper workshop in the fall so there's more time to experiment.

Remember the tea water I shared yesterday? If I di Remember the tea water I shared yesterday? If I didn't need to clean up for a workshop tonight, I'd still be dyeing with it right now. I am IN LOVE. I feel like a #rustandtea workshop my be in the future.

Cut out a quick #WillowandTara puzzle for my daugh Cut out a quick #WillowandTara puzzle for my daughter out of basswood on the @xtool.official M2. I didn't print this one on there because I was testing something out, but I've got a bigger puzzle in the works and I'm going to print that one on there. 

One of the reasons I love having maker tools is being able to whip up something special for someone, just because.

When old-school craftsmanship meets new-fangled te When old-school craftsmanship meets new-fangled tech! This is a hand-marbled paper made with traditional hand-mulled watercolor paints. I printed it with a UV printer on a paper mache box lid with an AI-generated texture (based on the color depth of the design). The texture of the end print is incredible.

I can't wait to get back in the studio to play around with this more. I want to see if I can generate a depth map that has the dark areas raised and the light areas at the base.

We've got a new addition to our studio's maker fam We've got a new addition to our studio's maker family: the @xTool M2. This one can print and laser cut, which is pretty cool. I actually picked this one up because I thought my art studio guests would find it relatable and useful, but I've come up with some cool projects to show it off.

The first was to print and cut cardstock decorations for my niece's grad party centerpieces. I shared those a week or so ago. The second was to print designs on cloth for an upcoming Pride craft event. The craft is punch needle, and printing the designs on the fabric is a time saver. Plus, it helps people see exactly what color goes where! The second picture is a sample print of a possible design. It's printed at 60% ink concentration.

I spent a very full Saturday with @karenachristian I spent a very full Saturday with @karenachristians at @lowellmakes reinforcing and enhancing my soldering skills for jewelry. I learned a lot and look forward to practicing those joins! I eventually want to make some metal book covers.

Karen is a great teacher and I appreciate her putting up with my crazy performance anxiety. 🤣

If you have a makerspace near you, definitely check it out for the to tools, the education, and the community.
