INTRODUCTION

Hello. My name is Anna and I create signs, decor, keychains, etc. while utilizing the programs Photoshop and XTool Studio for the digital aspect of the process. It's time consuming but I enjoy it. Once I have the cut files set, I laser cut the items with my XTool M1 Ultra. This can also take time to do depending on the details, which most of my items have several details. Once the items are cut out, they are stained or hand painted, glued, and then sealed. Everything done is done with care and high quality materials. I use materials like 3mm or 6mm Basswood or Walnut Plywood for the wood cut outs. I also use 3mm colored acrylic. I have several pieces to make the keychain attachments in different styles and lengths. I also do a little engraving/etching in my word as well. I either hand paint with acrylic paint and brushes or use my high quality acrylic markers, depending on the size of the pieces I am painting. I use a water-based polycrylic (doing many, many, many coats) to seal and protect my work. Aside from wood, I have an abundance of empty and sanitized wine bottles to etch or paint for clients as well. I also utilize my Cricut Air 2 and make handmade greeting cards, paper banners to hang for holidays and special events/moments.

Aside from the real world aspect of creating, I also do custom work with signs, posters, adverts, logos, etc. I have 20+ years of experience doing the work that I do digitally. I use programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Publisher (that's where I am also writing my books), and Inkscape.

I enjoy making items because with my disabilities I can't do much. Making these items is done on my time as my body allows. Haha. So, if you want to learn more about me, I'll put that in a separate post because it's a lot to put in such a small space.

I am just starting out with my business, so stay tuned.
