Information
      This design was born out of a moment of creative redemption, a quiet promise and reminder to keep making meaningful art even when plans go sideways. It’s a simple but intentional piece that combines calming energy with empowering affirmations: “Radiate With Purpose” and “Reflect With Grace.”
    
Instruction
1
Step1: Design Process

Assemble design in Procreate or other preferred software, then vectorize in Xtool, Illustrator, or something similiar. (Already done for you.)

2
Step2: Wood Preparation

Choose your wood and mask if desired. I went with 3mm basswood and opted against masking for this one just because I wanted the essence of the laser against the grain. In hindsight,  probably should have masked but nothing a little sandpaper couldn't mostly take care of.

3
Step3: Laser Time

Use the provided settings or tweak if needed for lighter linework. This process took just under 17 minutes.

4
Step4: Aftercare

Add a string or twine through the pre-cut hole for hanging and seal.

Optional: lightly seal to enhance contrast and preserve the wood.
