NEW VIDEO - federico tobon shows how to make a laser cut Moving Panorama "Crankie" toy. Free template and full assembly video here: youtu.be/lBZfYCp-As0

🆕 Mask Modifier in Cuttle is super fun with the pen plotter 🌀 #plottertwitter #axiDraw

It does fill me with joy when I get to show up on Maker Update! 😊 Thank you Donald Bell 🦋 @donaldbell.bsky.social!

I had fun trying out different paints with this video.

Plastic pieces keep on breaking on this old soda stream and I keep on reinforcing them with brass bits and screws (brass is easy to cut and form). I feel like it's some sort of functional steampunk. Soon enough I'll be adding wooden handles and top hats on the poor thing.

In case you missed federico tobon's workshop on Origami-Inspired Earrings, we posted a recording of it 📹 youtube.com/watch?v=ogqVNk…

We just released a Polygon Box template. You can customize the number of sides (make it a hexagon, octagon, etc) and the height, diameter, and material thickness. federico tobon recorded a tutorial video on our YT.

This week on Maker Update: a necklace with a staring problem, a laser powered mosquito swatter, moire play, and a giant #3Dprinted mechanical hand. 🤩: @MakerProjectLab VoxelMatters Allen Pan federico tobon instructables Ivan Miranda @makerio

I’m a little overwhelmed with the current explosion of social media platforms so I decided I’m going to go back to the basics for a little bit. I’ll be posting pictures of my sketchbook(s) the way I used to do.

The watercolor blobs come first - as random as possible and often with some colors I’m interested in mixing. Then I fill in the shapes with a black pen. It feels odd to outline watercolors so hard but I like that they are little self contained windows of weirdness. #sketchbook

Looking for advice: I’ve been using Mailchimp for a while but I find it a bit heavy handed and clunky for my use case. And I want something simpler. Thinking about TinyLetter or Substack (though I don't intend to charge for it) What do you think, any other options?

New public post on my Patreon page. This is part of a recent series where I’ve been creating diy laser cut kits. I honestly have no idea what this particular one is good for 😅 but you know, sometimes creative work follows strange paths 🐍 patreon.com/posts/simple-t…

I really like the way this drawing of our cat Shiro turned out. Sometimes these fast ink and watercolor sketches manage to capture the feeling with just a few gestures, they can feel almost like snapping a casual picture.

This sketchbook page shows how I’m often pulled in two directions: geometric patterns and hand-drawn stuff. I wanted to see what I could do with a simple grid, the lines are a little wobbly and the heavy granulating watercolors make it look more organic, I like that contrast.

More contrasting pages between grids and illustrations. I increased the line “wobble” on the grids and it makes it look like quilted fabric which I like. I had fun doodling the shapes coming out of the cat’s hand. Also really digging that "Imperial Purple" by #DanielSmith

A short interview I did with Voyage LA where you can learn among other things that: * I once wanted to be a writer * How living as an immigrant between two languages made me lean into making pictures voyagela.com/interview/chec…

If you are a maker, I highly suggest you check out Cuttle and the really cool examples demonstrating the power of the app that federico tobon presents

Made this video exploring morphing patterns with a pinch of Escher, a dash @cs_kaplan and a good serving of Cuttle youtu.be/eTlSAptcjwc?si…
