Hi, I am Yu-Chih (Yuji) Hsiao, one of the design fellow 2008. Recently I am making a new painting that is titled Line and Lines #2. I used the vinyl cutter to make a stencil, and carefully put the stencil on the top of the canvas (20”x20″) which I already painted the black color on it. Then, I used the acrylic matte medium to seal the edge of the vinyl, and painted the white color on the top of the vinyl. After I waited for 8 hours, I carefully removed the stencil vinyl. Here comes some images that show the process and result. I still need to spend times to fix the detail of the lines and background as well because the stencil did not precisely transfer into the canvas.

Our first Fab Lab project, plastic logos for the studio door. Thanks Jon, we think they look great. Hope you agree.

I’m Paris Marashi, an incoming Fellow at SSBxFab. Today I got a tour and overview of the FabLab, and did some experimenting with the laser-cutter, for a Thing-a-Day posting. Thing-a-Day invites artists and creators of all types and backgrounds to join a daily creative endeavor where everyone who signs up commits to making one thing (project, sketch, exercise) per day and shares it online on their collective blog. I took this hand drawing of mine and lasercut the surface. Seeing designs so beautifully translated into wood opens up a lot of room for new possibilities. I posted more images on flickr.
There’s still some time left to apply for the Fellow Program (deadline is February 15th)

The wonderful people from Mudbone created beautiful prints from this:
