Information
This piece was born from the intersection of spiraling and styling. I made it as a nod to everyone who’s mentally unraveling but still coordinating their trauma with romantic floral motifs. It’s an anxious affirmation for the soft goths, the ADHDers with a moodboard, and the neurodivergent babes who dissociate in eyeliner. Just because you’re panicking doesn’t mean you can’t be pretty.
Instruction
1
Step1: Design Prep
Assemble design in Procreate or other preferred art 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. Settings can be tweaked for denser wood or material or darker linework, but be mindful of the heavy texture on this one. A sawtooth hanger has also been included in the file.

Step3: Aftercare
Optional: Lightly spray with protectant. If you are using the sawtooth hanger included, a small bit of wood glue and a couple of hours left to dry should do the trick.
