Cutting my sign from acrylic on the laser -
I cut my vectored file on the laser cutter. As I was using an offcut as a tester, the bottom of 'Bottom' was actually cut off, meaning it said 'Rock Rottom' - nevertheless I wanted to continue my experiment to see how the colours would work and if I could successfully paint it.
I painted the acrylic on the back side. This meant I had to work backwards, making the first layer the most intentional and building up to create depth. This was especially difficult, when working with the tiny elements like the 'welcome to', I couldn't paint precisely enough so the lines were blurred, making it really hard to see. I will instead have a look at coloured acrylic sheets and see if I can laser that and build up the elements rather than individually painting.
