A wood veneer marquetry picture made for @sraksha from one of her drawings. (This picture is mirrored because I'm dumb and glued it with the wrong side facing up)

Cut with the Acmer P2 33W diode laser out of multiple different 0.6mm thick wood veneers. Most of the species used were in their natural state, but this also includes some through dyed and heat treated woods. (Red dyed birch and smoked oak for example)

Simplified process:

- Draw a new or turn an existing picture into a vector file

- Separate the picture into individual "puzzle" pieces, in the example below this was done in Lightburn.

- Different pieces are cut from the chosen woods with the laser, compensating the cut path settings if needed because even the color of wood changes how well it will be cut.

- The pieces are assembled and taped together into a sheet, which is then then glued on to a board (hopefully the right way around), in this case birch plywood.

- Glued piece is carefully sanded and finish applied.

So many pieces

"L'Empress du feu" - Fireplace

I present my first full fireplace, that has not been salvaged or recoloured from other Sims 4 fireplaces!

I have spent months working on this - starting with a free 3D model I found online, which I needed to turn into a proper fireplace to use in The Sims 4.

After much trial and tribulation, I finally finished it to a standard I want to release it to the world!

There are four different coloured surrounds, with mahogany inlay, and four different tile options - with a total of 16 swatches.

Here's a look at the different swatches, tiles, and how the fire lights up:

I have always wanted a Victorian fireplace with tiles - but found it hard to find a flat image of tiles to insert. So there could have been WAY MORE; but I settled on just four.

This is quite small, so fits in really nice little spaces if you don't have much room for a fireplace - like a bedroom, bathroom, or that weird space under the stairs.

How does one name a fireplace? Well, last night it came to me "L'Empress du feu" - "The Empress of fire"! I felt like the decoration was in a French Empire style, so took my inspiration from there!

I am so in love with this fireplace, and so proud of myself for sticking to it. All the work I've been doing in Blender has really contributed to bits I've worked on, on this fireplace.

A special thanks to @lilis-palace for help with figuring out making a Normal map, and everyone in the Sims History discord for the support and various answers I've looked for this whole time I've worked on this.

I entered this little planter into a juried show, fingers crossed it's accepted, but my escapism art may be a bit too whimsical for the serious gallery art world 😅 wouldn't hurt my feelings if it didn't, it just helped me get out of my head for awhile.

I'm not sure if this still counts as inlay because of the way I finished it, but it was drawn by carving channels for the glazes to keep the likework tight. I have just been using stroke and coat lately because it's dependable and fun to use.

Want to play more with illustrations on pots, but I have had the worst art block. May try to do some cheap digital commissions or requests to get my gears unstuck.

I've never really had nice clothes before. Never had a good paying job to afford them/ not known what I like/ looks good on me.

I finally found the kind of coat I've been looking for. It was heavily discounted and the only one they had left was in my size. It's so warm and not too heavy thankfully.

It will be nice to have a warm coat that compliments cute skirts and dresses when it's cold out

I made this sunflower spoon rest! It’s inlaid with natural turquoise that my partner and I meticulously sorted by hand. Terrible decision, really.

I just wanted to share it because I’m pretty proud of it. My partner wants a sunflower themed kitchen, so that’s what we’re doing! I made this to fit the theme, the sunflowers are all in different styles, so it didn’t really matter that mine was in my own.
