So my uncle being the gadget man that he is, bought a graphtec plotter cutter. Its the ce-6500 i beleive, and i have a little bit of experience using our plotter at University, we cut onto vinyl, transferred onto glass, weed out the pieces we dont want, and sandblast. Remove the vinyl, you get an awesome design.
Now that i realise how super easy and cool this machine is, im almost annoyed that they had us bringing in glassware, electrical tape and a craft knife, to do our intial designs the hard way. Can you believe we wrapped our glasses in tape and drew on the curved surface, only to try and cut out with a knife. this is SO easy!!
After about a week of not being able to do anything with it, i finally cracked it. We used this lovely matt black vinyl and i created this pair of pinking shears, and then the dreamcatcher. I know its a bit cliche but i do love it!
