I had to kick Kim and Garrett Make It off the stage to get a photo with a real celebrity. Thanks Kay for being an inspiration. Kay was great at bringing people together and really showing us how networking was meant to work. Thanks to Kim and Garrett for the opportunity to learn and meet some great makers from all levels. Looking for to learning more from those who are bigger than me and mentoring those who are just starting out.

Dive into your fantasy with this fairy bookshelf ornament. Created in layers to give it depth. Laser cut and UV printed. Image created with AI from my own prompts.

Created a new ornament today with a little inspiration from the book lovers in my family. A little fantasy and adventure will take you to new worlds, even if it is just from words on a page and your imagination. The artwork was created with AI from prompts I created. I laser cut and UV printed the design then glued it together. Perfect as it is or we can add a small sign with a name or saying. Maybe something like "Once Upon a Time Begins Here" or "Sydney's Library".
