DIE CUTTING

During Hack Night at Quelab (May 27, 2026), Adric fashioned some dies for die cutting, with a thin bandsaw blade. He first laser cut a pattern into a hard bamboo tile, and then pushed the bandsaw blade into the tile, teeth first:

Adric had made a "Q" die
with a bandsaw blade

Inserting the "Q" die and the paper to cut


CRUNCH!


The "Q" die and the leather press

Ultimately he only got an embossing in the paper, no die cutting.

Apparently the leather press pushed the bandsaw blade deeper into the tile.

However we made a lot of progress, and I think this homemade die approach should work next time.


Earlier we used the same leather press tool to punch out linoleum tiles:

KREA 2 -- Abstract Rope


I used the new KREA 2 model to make more Abstract Rope sculptures, from a Moodboard I made Public -- "SURREAL ORGANIC COILISM" -- with the images from my Mayan ROPE blog post:

PROCESS

I made a PUBLIC Moodboard -- "SURREAL ORGANIC COILISM" -- from the images of my MAYAN ROPE blog post -- and used that to generate new rope images with the new KREA 2 model:

MAYAN ROPE blog post




CONCLUSION 

These rope sculptures don't have much of my drawing DNA in them. However I identify with the aesthetic, as the rope shows the motion around the object.  This is one of the things what I aspire to do with my figure drawings.  Moreover the rope adds a tactile element to the image, inviting the viewer to touch it.
