Information
      This piece is for those of us who are holding it together with a velvet ribbon and one good eyeliner pen. I made this design as a wearable little act of defiance, something that says, “Yes, I’m unwell, but I’m doing it with flair.” Whether you're navigating mental illness, chronic pain, or just vibing through a meltdown with a touch of grace, this necklace or bracelet is your official badge of fragile glam.
    
Instruction
1
Step1: Design Prep

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

Step2: Wood Prep and Laser Work

Pick your wood and mask if desired.  I didn't mask as this wood tends to do better with no masking and air assist on high, even to get the texture I was after. Settings can be tweaked for denser wood or material or darker/lighter linework. Two tiny holes are on either side of the design. These can be moved or removed if one wants to use it as a charm or something else.

Step3: After Care

Run thin wire, string, or finding of choice through tiny holes on either side of the design if using as a necklace, bracelet or other jewelry accessory.
