Today, I’d like to share my experience using the xTool P2 laser conveyor system for a project. I chose a simple design because I didn’t want anything too intricate that would take a long time to cut. After some searching online for a design I thought this laser-cut silhouette wall art “Tree Lovers” would look amazing on my bedroom wall.
Today I will be testing laser engraving wine barrel staves using the xTool P2 Co2 laser’s game-changing feature “curved surface”. I have done a number of projects using wine barrels over the last few years, from making coffee tables to outdoor tables with built-in wine buckets. I also have a lot of loose wine barrel staves which I now see as an opportunity to engrave names or quotes on staves for bar decorations in the future. Through this experiment I hope to gain a better understanding of the ease and possibilities of this feature for future projects.

Artistic expression knows no bounds in our world today. Technology and creativity have combined to create a revolutionary form of wall art – unique, multilayered masterpieces crafted with precision and finesse using the xTool P2 Co2 laser cutting machine. This cutting-edge tool transforms walls into vibrant canvases and opens up a new world of creativity that transcends traditional artistic boundaries.

For someone who has never used a laser machine in the past, this shows how easy to use this laser machine is.
Just before Christmas, I received the xTool P2 laser for review. Now that the review is over, I’m free to let my creativity run wild. This laser cutter and engraver is so great that I’m constantly looking around my home for items to use with it. Recently, I found a wooden TV dinner tray that I decided to use with the machine. With my new Steampunk TV Tray, I can now enjoy my dinner on the couch without having to balance it on my lap.
Are you like me, someone who is sitting on the fence when it comes to deciding whether investing in a laser cutter is a good idea or not? There are so many questions that come to mind, such as whether it’s worth the money, how easy it is to use the software, and whether it’s possible to make money with the laser. In today’s post, I will share my thoughts and experiences using the xTool P2 CO2 laser.
I am a huge steampunk fan and never miss an opportunity to create something new with a steampunk theme. With Christmas just around the corner, I wanted to create a wooden steampunk Christmas tree using recycled items from my workshop and craft room. The steampunk genre is not one you would usually associate with Christmas because it has a more industrial theme and metallic colours. But with my love of woodwork combined with my love of mixed media art, I will share how to create a stunning wooden steampunk Christmas tree.
If you are looking for a quick and easy project for Halloween this one is for you. I am sharing how I made this simple DIY skull bottle using easy-to-find items. This is also a great project for beginners who would like to get into doing mixed media art. My idea for this project was to use a ceramic bottle and decorate it to look like my skull bottle was wearing clothes.
Have you ever had buyer’s remorse? This project is the result of one of mine. I made my Son an outdoor bar table from some recycled decking planks and fencing posts a few months ago. But unfortunately, I did not have enough wood left over to make some bar stools to go with the table. I went online and spent $400 on these bar stools and instantly hated them once they were built. They looked so rubbish next to the table. I could not send them back because the postage costs were so high so had no choice but to keep them. So I did the next best thing and gave the bar stools a makeover to match the table.
With Halloween just around the corner, it is time for all the creepy and spooky projects. We no longer celebrate Halloween as our kids are all grown, but they are still one of my favourite holidays to create for. I just pass them on to friends and family who do. This simple skull wall sconce was simple to make and was completed within an hour.
I am always trying to find new ways to recycle the waste we generate at home to save it from going to recycling centres or landfills. In this project, I am sharing how I upcycled some aluminium drink cans into Shimmering Aluminum Can Art. My idea was to create an image of a star and then cover it with small circles cut from aluminium drink cans.
Creating simple wall art using rope can be a fun and creative way to add a unique touch to your living space. It is also time for the next challenge for our International Blogger’s challenge club (IBC). Each month we get together to create a project around a common theme. And I am sure you have guessed by now the theme is “Rugged Ropes and Twisted Twine”. This simple rope wall was my contribution. More about (IBC) at the end of this post.
A few weeks ago I noticed my light shade in the kitchen was looking a little grubby and thought I would give it a quick clean. Which did not turn out to be the quick task I had imagined. While cleaning the light shade it moved and unfortunately fell and smashed down to the floor into 100 pieces. I bought a new light shade but it looked so boring it just blended into the roof. So I came up with the idea to give this plain glass light shade a makeover using vinyl decals I would make using my Cricut vinyl cutter.
