A piece for our own studio, we wanted to make a little slice of Colorado for our own enjoyment. What’s better than a bear with character. Even without all the face details, this charming guy exudes an inquisitive presence - like he just popped up to have a look back at you.

We printed the frame out of Walnut Ply with an inset engrave to give us a layered step in that plate. The bear is a deep engrave out of Thick Draftboard mounted to a backing plate of Blackboard (which also cuts like a dream in the Glowforge). The final result with multiple depth planes amps up the visual interest. [aka: makes it cool to look at]
