My projects on HaXmas | THANK YOU!

[Rafael]

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend and have a wonderful Christmas Eve tomorrow.

First, I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who made HaXmas possible:

  - Luis: Thank you for making this event happen.
  - Landon: Thank you for coordinating everything, ensuring we had food, and staying for several shifts.
  - Nate and Cinthya: Thank you for covering shifts and providing help.

I enjoyed sharing my projects this year and wanted to share the results.

1. Acrylic Keychains (Laser Cutter)

To celebrate buying our first house, my wife and I engraved the red glass cups we used to cheer when we got the key (they looked awesome, we also tested on black glass).

Here the glass engrave

During HaXmas, I returned to engrave keychains on black vinyl for my wife, who liked the original idea.

2. Christmas Decor Spheres (Vinyl Cutter)

My wife and I usually buy these custom decor spheres, but last year a DIY attempt failed due to poor equipment. This year, HaXmas came to the rescue! I was able to save the day, get decor ready for family we were seeing on Sunday, and even create a sphere for our recently adopted kitty with the same pattern as her siblings. This wouldn't have been possible through a third party on such short notice.

I spent the whole night focused and was able to press the vinyl name cuts onto a glitter sphere. (Future self: clear coat may help, as Cinthya and Landon suggested!)

Thank you again, Luis, Landon, Nate, and Cinthya, and thank you for the food. I have placed a lump-sum donation and hope it serves as my "grain of sand" to help the cause.

Best regards,

Dang it, hit enter while attaching the pics, bummer!

Glass we left as reference

The glasses we used to cheer

...

Our recently adopted kitty (a year compared to our older cat who's 8, it's kinda recent)

The sheer-will pressed into unforgiven glitter decor

Let me tell you, that thing isn't flimsy, I tried on a throwaway decor, rubbed my finger harshly and it didn't come off.

I still will try to dust coat it with clear coat if I have a chance, as we ended up not seeing them on Sunday and we will bring those tomorrow to dinner

Lastly, any thoughts on these,are welcome!

Thanks Rob! It means a lot to hear those look great

I just realized I didn't attach the pics for the keychains, so here there are.

Also a plus, the black glass I mentioned and a pic of Haxmas with one of the Christmas decor it allowed me to do.
