This design is engraved on wood and hand painted with a combination of acrylic paint and inks. AImake prompts [Style] Line art [Prompt] mushroom decorated with ornaments
The settings that are included in the XCS file for this project are the settings I used on a 3mm thick piece of Sapele wood, and my P2 laser. Please keep in mind that these settings may need to be adjusted to better fit your specific laser, or material.
This project is pretty straight forward. Simply load your material into your laser and run the included XCS file, keeping in mind any adjustments that you may need to make to the settings and project placement.
On this particular file the green layer is your cut layer, and the blue layer contains the AImake produced image. The image in the XCS file has been slightly adjusted from the PNG file that is included. The adjustments I made are very minor and were simply used to clean up the image a bit for a cleaner engrave job. Overall, the design itself is the same.
After you run your file, be sure to clean any dust off of your ornament before you move on to painting. When painting your details, keep a light hand and a small amount of paint on your brush to ensure that your paints and inks don't seep down into the engraved lines. Take your time and try to start near the center of an area you plan to paint so you can see how your materials react with the wood. Some types of inks and paints tend to bleed outward more than others, so you want to be aware of how much your colors will bleed before you go to town with your painted details.
After your paints have dried, add a ribbon for hanging and enjoy!
