I pack my stuff like you..using recycled cardboard and then parcel wrap over the top. I even use old Amazon envelopes for the A4 and 8x6 ones and just slide a piece of carboard in with them to make them non bendable..I'd rather make use of them than just throwing them away and buying stuff. I may get some 4mm ply for more expensive acrylic paintings as it is light but SUPER strong and local DIY place just cuts it to your size. Another option if you have anywhere like that local to you.... Very exciting about the laser engraver. The only emails I had are dodgy ones with email addresses from dodgy domains from the far east and they'll just try to hack into my channel no doubt.

I totally enjoyed this Vlog Shannon. I would love to see your next craft fair if you have your engraved items for sale there. Love the look of your studio!

Just came across your channel and I can’t get enough. Your attention to detail, and explaining your entire process is exactly what I was looking for while I’m starting a greeting card business. Keep it up! And your gentle nature is beautiful.

Hi Shannon, I found your channel just recently and enjoy your videos and artworks a lot! I wonder if you could tell me, where you got your white desk from? Hope you have an enjoyable week so far ☺

@shannonmullin 10 ай бұрын

Hi! Thank you so much I'm glad you're enjoying it. Of course, it's from IKEA although I don't think they make this colour any more. I think they have it in a wood colour still though. You too, thank you! ☺️

I prefer the realistic portrait for the engraving tool

Hi Shannon, could you please tell me what packing tape you use on your brown kraft paper you wrap your cardboard pictures in, as the tape we use keeps unsticking its self as the paper is very strong! Love your packing materials!

@shannonmullin 10 ай бұрын

Hi Amanda, I think I got it from Transpack! It does un-stick itself every now and then but on the whole it's quite strong 😊

Hey, this is super cool! I draw people and pets too and have been loving your vlogs. Recently, I got into laser engraving and legit thought this vid was from one of those channels I've been following. Finding out it's from another portrait artist? My mind was blown with excitement! 😂 I've been toying with the idea of posting on my KZfaq again and this is definitely inspiring me! (Though, the nerves and the fear... they're real. 🫣) Also, if you're up for a new supportive artist buddy, I'd totally love to be friends! Hi Shannon, I'm Nicole!! 👋🏻

Thank you so much!! What are the chances of that?! 😂 wow your work is incredible that’s an instant subscribe from me 😍 you have so much patience drawing people, I started out with that but soon realised animals were more forgiving 😆 awww you can do it your channel looks amazing! 🤍

@seema3446 10 ай бұрын

I would wrap it up... or buy (brown paper) envelopes which are the right size, so that I could slide the cardboard packages in them :)

@shannonmullin 10 ай бұрын

Great idea! Thank you ☺️

@chris_dixon 10 ай бұрын

I prefer the full images on the engraving, perhaps there is a way in software to simplify them a bit without loosing the essence of the image.

@shannonmullin 10 ай бұрын

Thank you Chris! I tried image tracing it to turn it into a vector and that helps to simplify it, maybe I could take even more details away. I just need to figure out which settings help it to stand out more, I've been in touch with xTool and hopefully have the correct settings for the next vlog 🤞☺️
