  1. My latest #Cricut card, a work in progress. I used #cardstock and images from a calendar from Dollar Tree.

    The art of cards is far too lost. I don't sell my designs (YET) but find someone who does and grab a handmade card for a loved one SOON!!

  3. If you, like me, are trying to use a #Gorton family single-stroke typeface with a #Glowforge laser cutter (or a #CNC machine or a #Cricut or whatever), and you'd like an easy way to do type layout while keeping everything in the single-stroke vector space, it turns out there is a solution for that (!!): https://msurguy.github.io/cnc-text-tool/

    If all of the above is gibberish but you're curious, basically, here's the thing:

    - most vector drawing tools (I use #AffinityDesigner) will happily open & use TrueType or OpenType fonts, but their model of a "font" is typically "a closed outline stroke with a fill"
    - things like laser cutters and CNC machines love paths/strokes, but they don't grok "fill" (or, in the case of modern laser cutters, they do, but it's finicky and you have to do a lot of trial-and-error tweaking to get the stroke & the fill working together so that the type renders like you want it to)
    - there are quite a few sources for single-path SVGs of classic engraving fonts (including Fedi's favorite, #Gorton) but if you want to actually lay out words instead of single characters . . . lotta manual work
    - the web application I linked above solves **this specific problem** by letting you do text layout, and then it outputs a single SVG that you can import into your CNC software or into your vector drawing software for integration into your designs

  5. I'm currently in the process of making #stickers on my #cricut.

    I'd been thinking about the 'I Did That!' stickers that were all over the place a bit ago, and decided I could get behind some #political #graffiti.

    If anyone is interested, I'll link my #etsy shop once I post them. :)
