Information

      This was my very first layered artwork design. I have struggled to make layered artwork, but I absolutely love all the files I see on Atomm that are layered work so I wanted to create my own. My goal is to become a premium contributor and this piece was my first step towards that huge goal as it has empowered me and given me the confidence to start creating more layered art.

This piece could be used as wall art, shrunk to be a coaster, or used on an easel for decorative purposes.

When you import the svg file into atomm or your laser software of choice, you can scale it to the dimensions you desire. Just make sure you take note of the exact size, as all layers need to be the same.

Step2: Cut the "lace" design (layer 2)

Use the same settings as the previous cuts.

Step4: Clean the pieces

The white MDF board tends to burn on the edges. Wipe it with Mr. Clean Magic eraser or water to remove the brown.

Step5: Paint the layers your desired colors

I have found spray paint works the best. I only painted the middle layer (lace layer) orange.

Step6: Glue the pieces together

I used titebond, blue bottle, to glue the pieces together. I used clamps from the dollar store to hold the pieces together to ensure a secure adhesive.
