Africa Continent Mirror

Mirror acrylic lasercut in the shape of the African continent.

Mirror acrylic is lighter, has high impact resistance and is safer than glass.

It's best quality is that it can be cut, etched and engraved to different specifications and designs. Check out my website (link in bio) to see this Africa Continent mirror and other acrylic mirror designs.

Throwback to 10 years ago today when I lasercut and installed four branded back drops for an event in one of the Wembley power league venues.

Having only had my laser machine for 18 months and being self taught, I naively believed the commission would be easy. But it ended up super challenging as all the fabrics I found in the brand colour where not laserable. Through this project I learnt you can't just lasercut any fabric and had to find a workaround or two.

With research and cautiously testing different fabrics, (without burning the place down, cause there were a few little fires ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜… ) I found the right fabric to laser the logo but it didn't come in the brand colour which was purple๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ Workaround one worked but the brand colour still needed to be incorporated so I added an interchangeable background fabric (super flammable and definitely not laserablre lool) , which finalised the piece nicely.

These workarounds resulted in the development of a whole new idea๐Ÿ’ก. The layered backdrop made it possible for the client to change the logo colour as and when they pleased, by simply changing the background fabric, which was an added bonus๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

After all that I tested how the backdrops would be hung and installed to give a professional finish, which I did in my studio first before installing in the venue (third slide).

This was one of my first explorations of lasercutting fabric, as opposed to solid materials such as acrylic, MDF and wood, and thankfully I pulled it off ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ
