Rose for mother's day
Instruction
This is a rose I created as a gift for my mother. It's made of two parts: 6 mm basswood and 3 mm basswood, glued together.
The part below is painted with red and green vinyl paint.
In the heart it's possible yo write a quote as I did in mine in figure 2.
Two separate cuttings are needed: one for 3 mm basswood and one for 6 mm basswood.
I decided to did these 2 different cut because I want the upper part to be thicker, for a big contrast with the part below. If you do not have 6 mm basswood or you prefer to save some money and time, you can use just the 3 mm and the result will be good as well.
If you want, you can write something in the heart. I wrote something in italian for my mother. If you decide to write a quote, you could cut and engrave in the same process.
I used the type of paint in figure. You can see it clicking on this link too: https://www.momarte.com/prodotti-per-pittura/colori-acrilici-per-pittura/colori-acrilici-sfusi/acrilico-polycolor-maimeri.html
I painted the flower part with red, and then I mixed green with a bit of white and painted the leafs.
I discovered that painting my own xTool creations is very relaxing, and I think I'm going to upload many others painted creations in future.
I used a standard glue for wood for a good result. https://www.leroymerlin.it/prodotti/colla-per-assemblare-vinavil-universale-flacone-100gr-30126292.html?at_medium=Sea-Paid&at_source=Google&at_section=Ferramenta&at_campaign=LM_Cr.Ferramenta_Sea-Paid_Google_Pmax_Conversion_AO_Conversion&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20285309674&gbraid=0AAAAADGzXBfFwupYN4PgOH4fS67vP-cXx&gclid=CjwKCAjwuIbBBhBvEiwAsNypvXzFzip9cbCUBrqwAKupghL7zZpXqgyhamq9BHXoz4g6c9V3yPsXSBoCqy8QAvD_BwE
