"A Smooth Sea Never Made A Skillful Sailor"

This second version of the sign was created using models from these projects:

Fonts used are:

  • Candara, Gabriola

Both versions of this motivational plaque use the same sign shape and text layout with a change of the accent models.

 Using the levels feature in your V-Carve Desktop, V-Carve Pro or Aspire you can easily set up multiple versions of the same project. 

This is useful for things like showing a customer multiple versions of the same plaque or even keeping two versions of a "good seller" all in the same place!

Hack of the Week No.112

Making Memories Frame - Beach theme

Summer has just begun so there is no better time than the present to get working on a vacation inspired frame to display your special memories in.  Swap out the starfish for another model to make a specially themed frame for any picture or occasion!

"Making Memories"

This picture frame layout was created using models from these projects:

The font we used to simulate the v-carving on this layout is called:  Monotype Corsiva

Celtic rosettes for a window trim 

This Hack of the Week was inspired by a set of four celtic rosettes and a starfish themed hack that Don Harding sent in.  

The celtic rosettes use models from the Celtic Frame No.1 and would look great around a window or door.  

The starfish panel uses a model from the new Panel No.1 - Flowers project and the starfish from the Under the Sea No.1 project.  It would look great as a rosette or as a bit of wall decor at your cottage or by the pool.   

Thanks Don for sharing and inspiring us!!!
