I really love your videos as always but the little animation caught me by surprise and it was so cute! Just love your new setup and am very excited to see what else you create in wood! Maybe you could design one of those cute little wood puzzles for little kids? Your art style would appeal to parents and your cute little characters would definitely be fun for kids. Just a thought. I bet you could do it with the xtool. One layer would be the full shape cut out with the images inside and you would be able to use the outer skeleton as the upper layer of the base (with a solid piece behind it) and that'd be a puzzle. Might be a lot of production steps in a way but would also sell for a higher price point. Just an idea! Hope you have a wonderful 2024. I'm so grateful to you for the advice and ideas you've given to help us with small business motivation!

[@fructusillustrations]

Hey! Thank you for the idea! I think that would be really cool to create and will have to look into it further to figure out the process but you've really helped me get the ideas rolling :) I hope that you have a wonderful 2024 as well and I wish you the absolute best! I'm rooting for you and for your happiness and success❤️

[@StarlightSovereign]

Glad to give back a little! You give me so much inspiration and even just company while I work with your videos. Glad to be able to help you back even a little.
❤ Hoping your 2024 is even more amazing that your 2023!🎉

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, the little animations are adorable 😊😊

[@vietdo493]

The products are so cute! I like the focus lazer too!

[@22suprstar22]

Yay glad to see you back with new videos! The new laser wooden stuff is so cute! I'd be interested in magnets or coasters :)

[@fructusillustrations]

Yayy, glad to be back! I plan to make more coasters for sure! 😊♥

[@donbomBL]

I strongly advise against making badges out of wood, because the fastening breaks out if you wear them. Glue is definitely not an option, and screwing seems like a good idea, but then the piece of wood to which the hook was attached will go away with it with any careless movement

[@fructusillustrations]

Good to know! thanks for sharing your insights 😊♥

[@ytu77]

I already like it 🎉

[@naty191000]

[@fructusillustrations]

Thank you so much!

[@christinacreek]

Can you do a tutorial on how to design things for vograce with procreate you inspired me to start stickers and I finally opened my shop but I want to offer more

[@readittwice]

this was soo good, you can use your engraver to make christmas ornaments, book marks and puzzles

[@fructusillustrations]

Oh puzzles could be so cool! Will have to look into the process to make some :) I'll also probably make some ornaments for the next holiday season! thanks for the ideas!

[@wengi_tuu]

I miss watching your videos ❤❤ Happy New Year

[@fructusillustrations]

Happy new year!! 🐻♥

[@phie_ahr]

As always, lovely video. Btw, what kind of journal do you use? It seems really cool, the format is great. I would like to buy one as well, I have to organize my time this year!!

[@fructusillustrations]

The planner I'm using is the A6 Hobonichi Hon and I use that to organize all my work! It's my first year using it and I absolutely love it so much 😊❤️ And the journal Im using is the Stalogy 365!

[@Gothxuk]

😊 when printing stickers do you always use the vinyl paper and then laminate the sheets, I got confused :)

[@fructusillustrations]

Yes, I print directly onto the sticker paper and then laminate the sheets before I cut them :)

[@Gothxuk]

Thank you :)
