Lasercutting!

by Jenine Bressner

jenine's rufflebeard.JPG I constructed this ruffle beard from fabrics that I lasercut and hand- painted. I wear it while biking to keep my face warm.

I drew these shapes on a computer with a mouse, which took a very long time and hurt my wrist. I am investing in a tablet so I can draw more comfortably on the computer.
