Laser engraving soap

I laser cut Queen Elizabeth 1st into Ivory Soap on September 20, 2026:


Queen Elizabeth 1
was famous for not bathing


The wood support was unnecessary
as the soap did not melt and drip into the laser cutter


I laser cut at 100% speed, but different powers:
  • 20% power -- too light
  • 40% power -- perhaps Goldilocks
  • 60% power -- deeper, but messier result

RESULTS
Speed 100
Power 20, 40 and 60


Speed 100
Power 40
-- the Goldilocks combination?

Speed 100
Power 60
-- too messy


None of the white Ivory Soap cuts turned out very decent.  I probably need a harder and/or darker soap.

PROJECTION ART WORKSHOP -- Santa Fe

I went up to a PROJECTION ART WORKSHOP in Santa Fe by MORGAN BARNARD on September 19, 2026 in the Vital Spaces Annex at MADA -- the workshop focused on MadMapper software:

Example of Morgan's video projection
on the outside of a building


Morgan Barnard used a 5200 Lumens projector:

5,200 lumens
(over $1000)

Morgan Barnard used MADMAPPER software to project on odd surfaces:

MadMapper software


MadMapper masks out shapes on the computer
which are then masked out in the projection

One can also connect two or more projectors to the MadMapper software.  Morgan used a second projector:

BENQ Projector
TH67first1ST
3000 Lumens

Two projectors on two different surfaces
controlled by the MadMapper software



OUTDOOR PROJECTIONS

After the lecture we went outside to project the participants images on the library building:
