Egg Hanger With Name

Step 1) This Egg project starts with a egg shaped SVG, it is quickly duplicated a slightly bit bigger. This larger egg will be the outside of the hanger. Now to begin with the text editor a name is spelled out, in this case MARIE is used. this name then gets an outline with the outline option. To have some meat around the letters a offset of 0.300 is used. Then because of the font a small thin rectangle is created with the insert button to keep the inside of the letter A together. it is placed across and is subtracted with the use of the combine option. This way the center of the A stays in tack.

Step 2) Now with the center of the egg we add the outlined name we created earlier, this is placed across the egg in a manner to connect on both sides the best it can. Then with the magic of the subtract option of combine feature it will remove the material around the inside of the egg.

Step 3) Now a rabbit is added, from the shapes list of animals a rabbit is selected. This rabbit will also be added with the subtract feature the same way the name was. in order to do this we need to place the rabbit on the bottom of the inside of the egg just enough that it over laps. Then it can be subtracted.

Step 4) Now the outside egg is moved to center the inside egg, it all comes together as a hanging ornament. This will need a hole for hanging so a small circle is added to the very top of the egg, and is united together with the outside of the egg. Then an even smaller hole is placed for the hanger. Then it is off to the laser machine once the settings are adjusted. 

Step 5) once the machine has cut all the pieces out it is ready for paint. I used a free hand method to paint this egg by spraying 2 different color paints at the same time across the surface, then added a third color for effect. Once the paint is dry it is ready to hang or give away.
