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.”
Assemble design in Procreate or other preferred software, then vectorize in Xtool, Illustrator, or something similiar. (Already done for you.)
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.
Use the provided settings or tweak if needed for lighter linework. This process took just under 17 minutes.
Add a string or twine through the pre-cut hole for hanging and seal.
Optional: lightly seal to enhance contrast and preserve the wood.
