Hack of the Week No.112

Making Memories Frame - Beach theme

Summer has just begun so there is no better time than the present to get working on a vacation inspired frame to display your special memories in.  Swap out the starfish for another model to make a specially themed frame for any picture or occasion!

"Making Memories"

This picture frame layout was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Monotype Corsiva

Note - This hack was assembled in Aspire V8.5 for presentation purposes.  It could have been done in VCarve Pro V8.5 or VCarve Desktop V8.5.

Celtic rosettes for a window trim 

This Hack of the Week was inspired by a set of four celtic rosettes and a starfish themed hack that Don Harding sent in.  

The celtic rosettes use models from the Celtic Frame No.1 and would look great around a window or door.  

The starfish panel uses a model from the new Panel No.1 - Flowers project and the starfish from the Under the Sea No.1 project.  It would look great as a rosette or as a bit of wall decor at your cottage or by the pool.   

Thanks Don for sharing and inspiring us!!!

Enhance your next project with flowers!

Flowers have always been a very popular motif in home decor.  Hand carved into wood, stone or cast in to ceramic to add a bit of nature to our inside spaces.  They can be found all over the place including banisters, furniture, wall hangings, backsplashes, wood trim, and the list goes on.   

One possible layout

This project is packed with so many possibilities because the models are very interchangeable.  It is easy to create a flower motif that you can carry throughout a room or your home.  Even if you are not looking to take on a home renovation, this project is easily hacked together with our other projects to create a very unique project.

A new project just in time for Mother's Day

Just in time for Mother's Day we have the 3rd installment of the Mother's Garden series of CNC projects.

A project that contains an orchid model seemed to be a very obvious addition to the Mother's Garden series of projects.  A ribbon that can be easily v-carved with children's names, dates or an event seemed to fit right in, so we included it. Overlaying your layout on the long textured tile will make for a great piece of wall art to be shared with visitors, as a gift or just for yourself.
