Silver Snowflake Celtic Knotwork T-Shirt

Silver Snowflake Celtic Knotwork Unisex T-Shirt

During the holidays last year, I was looking through some of my old Celtic knotwork designs.  I came upon the original pencil sketch of my 1992 Snowflake design and, decided to print it in silver on some really nice black 100% cotton heavyweight T-shirts to give as gifts to family and friends.  They came out great and, were a big hit.

Special thanks to my good friend and wonderful, highly photogenic model, Tanya, for showing off the women’s fitted shirt for the photo!

Of course, I printed more than I needed and, have some extra shirts, both in a standard unisex T and, a fitted women’s T.  So, those are up in the online shop, if you want to grab one.  There are limited quantities on-hand but, I can easily print more, if there is enough demand.

Laser-cut Spiral Stamp

I have some “low odor” laserable rubber on-hand that I have never used. So, as a quick evening project this week, I created this little spiral stamp on the new Glowforge. I mounted it on a champagne cork using carpet tape, with a layer of plastic packing foam between the rubber and cork.

Important lessons learned here include how to size artwork for the GFUI and, that you absolutely do not want the residue from laser engraving rubber on your hands.
