Recently my mum’s friend got married, so I made a wedding heart woodcut for them. It’s a laser-cut filigree heart, personalised with the name of the bride and groom.
Here’s a YouTube video of the lasercutter (Epilog Fusion Edge) doing its thing and cutting out the wooden heart:
The design still needed a couple of tweaks at the time I took this video, but on the whole I’m really pleased with it. It would be great for Valentine’s Day, or even better for a wooden (fifth) anniversary gift. I like the flowing lines, and the way that the names fit in with the rest of the design elements. This version was a test that I did in cheap laserply wood, but the final version was more substantial and yet it still looked really delicate. I’m thinking about putting this design (although with different names, obvs) on Etsy. Maybe I’ll put it on Amazon Handmade as well. But I’ll also put it here on my shop page.
The overall wedding heart woodcut design is by me, but some of the elements came from a licence that I bought a few years ago from Vectorstock. (Here is a link back to when I explained about saving design time by using pre-existing designs.)
