I just released a new YouTube video detailing a new rubber stamp creation process I have been using with my Glowforge laser cutter. The process makes use of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to add strength to the stamps to hopefully make smaller details stronger and more resilient.
This is a quick and easy summer time project to bring hidden messages and pictures to life! It utilizes a hydrophobic spray and a cardboard stencil with your design. Where ever the spray coats the sidewalk, it repels water, so taking advantage of this property, I was able to make some really cool hidden sidewalk art around my home and neighborhood. Just note that this spray was a lot more long lasting than had originally had hoped, which isn’t an issue for me, but could be for you. Just something to keep in mind!

This project was a great excuse to try my hand at improving a Yoda Toy that I found at Toy R Us many moons ago. (R.I.P) There were several different finishing techniques that I tried to use for the first time, including hair punching. It was really surprising just how easy it was to take this toy another step further to make it a bit more realistic.
Some project ideas can come when you least expect them and can really hit you like.. well… a Hulk. The notion of making a SnowGlobe filled with Peter Parker particulates was too great to pass up!
