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.

And Book Fiesta 2026 is in the books! Session 2 br And Book Fiesta 2026 is in the books! Session 2 brought another delightful group of women who felt like family. We had fruity drinks with umbrellas, another birthday (quietly) celebrated, a cheesecake donut (iykyk), the official Book Fiesta playlist, an international guest, explosions of color, and a sea of laughter. 

Thanks to the (almost) always delightful @bookartstudios , who brought her trademark joy, support, and creativity. She has become a good friend and I'll miss her until she returns!

Book Fiesta 2026 Session 1 has come to a close and Book Fiesta 2026 Session 1 has come to a close and I'm tired, but grateful. It was a full session with two birthday celebrations, a surprise guest, numerous trips to @theperagrill, some margaritas, painted hands, an ice cream run, and a ton of paper and gesso. I'm so appreciative of @bookartstudios and her generous spirit, as well as the creative brilliance of our attendees. Off to get some sleep before we welcome session 2!
