I designed all of the pieces for my consignment line in illustrator today. Because I wanted to maintain a hand-made quality in lasercut designs, I hand-drew all of the images using a tablet connected to my laptop. The images turned out beautifully, I cannot wait until they are all cut so I can get to work!
Here is a preview:

Jerry and I met this evening to finalize the designs and give me a demonstration of how the laser works. He was interested in my designs but it turns out that all of the work I invested in the original designs would not work with the machine. In order for the laser to read the image, I need to reformat the images but focusing on the negative space of the image and highlighting the positive space. I have quite a bit of editing in front of me. We are going to try and meet again next weekend so this project can start rolling!
