Day 3 at #FAB26 with @xtool.official has been inte Day 3 at #FAB26 with @xtool.official has been interesting. Our tent was flooded and we all moved inside. In a quiet moment, a colleague helped me cut my logo out of 2mm stainless steel on the Metal Fabl. I was asked to engrave another tumbler (I spent 2.5 hours engraving tumblers on Monday!), which turned out really cute. And now I'm taking a few moments of quiet before supporting a workshop with some business card engraving. Lots of interesting people and things to see.

The Upcycle Challenge today was a delight! The mys The Upcycle Challenge today was a delight! The mystery items were fringed Christmas trees, which I forgot to take a picture of... But each participant brought something special to the event and our judges had a hard time choosing a winner.  Everyone embraced the spirit of the event! In the end, Quinn won with her flapper girl doll. The judges appreciated that she used a variety of techniques, including hand-sewn legs, but she also managed to "transform" her item without really changing the structure. But Carrie did a full transformation with her Paris fascinator. Jodi honored a friend with an ocean-themed makeover. And Dawn had the most creative use of materials with flowers for hair and a dog costume for the body structure!

Huge thanks to the winners and to our guest judges @nikkis_rabbit_hole, @makesharerepeat and @lethes.bramble! Can't wait to do it again.

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.

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.
