Creating the pattern:
Using the pattern to cut mirror card:
Using pattern to create digital version in Adobe Photoshop:
Importing paths into illustrator and exporting as correct files for CAD machines:
Black and green image of imported file from waterjet cutting company:
Final cutting:
I’ll add one last image to this when the final stage of sculpting has been completed.
