Jungle Heart —— Illuminated leaf-shaped fiber art sculpture

Step 1 Laser Cutting

Using the xTool M2, engrave and cut the leaf-vein and heart pattern. What emerges, piece by piece, are tiny hearts of the plant world.

Step 2 Shaping the 3D Frame

Bend the rubber-coated aluminum wire into the form of a heart, then cut the linen to fit its curves.

Note： Because this step calls for three-dimensional draping — not flat cutting — we shaped it by hand. But the pattern is yours to reuse using xTool M2: cut it out and follow the same shape. (the heart pattern is in the pdf file, parameter advise: 100% power 25mm/s speed,for 20W)

Step 3 Weaving the Vessels

Weave green, brown, and gray threads into the vessels — rising, falling, woven across the frame like veins carrying life.

Step 4 Final

In the end, you can attach the leaves to the fabric heart however you like — Velcro, glue, magnets, all work fine.
