Laser cutting shape & type

Adding a simple shape to the outside of the type boarders and holds the type and also creates a way to mount the product to a chain. Choosing an F bomb shape makes the type fall in the right direction and also the bomb creates the idea of destruction which also adds to the darkness feel of the type.












laser cutting was the first process gaining the right burnt effect meant using extra lines to create a charred embossed type.













After varnishing the piece I moved in to a flocking process unfortunately this did not go well because of the varnish. Eventually after three attempts the process worked and the product had a flocked back to create a desirability.










To get over the problem of flocking I had to reduce the time of heating and repeat the process. The results made the piece interesting and texured to the touch.
