Hey ho, I just inherited a Cameo Silhouette 2 from a neighbor, and holy crap, it's amazing. I've always liked Papercraft, and I've been handcutting spray paint stencils for almost 20 years, so imagine my delight to get a machine that can do all of the tedious hand-cramping cutting for me. I was thinking it would be nice to have a place on the nicest forum on the interwebs, that also happens to have some of the nicest, smartest people too boot, to share tips and tricks about using these fabulous cutting machines and share projects too. It was my birthday recently, so I got a bunch of Cameo Silhouette supplies. I got Orical 651 permanent adhesive vinyl, some Heat Transfer Vinyl, and a Cb09 blade holder, which makes cutting a dream. It came with 15 blades and cost less than the Silhouette premium blade. I made my first iron on tonight, using black Heat Transfer Vinyl, and it's looking pretty good! It's reflective vinyl, so I definitely would do the text differently next time (the subtracted letters get hard to read when the vinyl is catching the light). Here's a Portrait of the Artist As A Young Dog: I also made a miniature zoetrope that's built completely out of 110 lb coverstock. The precision of the Silhouette Cameo makes it possible to create a precisely engineered spindle between the zoetrope and the base so that it can spin perfectly. If anyone is interested I can post the files for my zoetrope, it's pretty slick. What all have you guys been up to with your Cameo Silhouettes / Cricuts?

It is May 3rd. A day otherwise mostly unremarkable, except for a few things. One, it happens to be the National Wordsmith Day. But, coincidentally, it is also the day we are getting official Brandon Sanderson apparel on Amazon! And while that alone might be exciting to some, what's more important is that many of the designs are brand new! Check out this amazing First of the Sun/Sixth of the Dusk Symbol t-shirt, for example! Check out the designs here . There are tons of cool ones that are not on Brandon's store, like one that says, "Ask me about the Cosmere," a nice shirt with just the cosmere symbol on it, and other planet ones like Sel, Threnody, and more. Additionally, many of these shirts have many more colors than when these were just on Brandon's store. Check out how sweet the Stormlight Archive shirts look in new colors. Unlike Brandon's store, some of these designs have women's and kid's sizes as well! Keep that Amazon link handy, because there will be more coming in the (near?) future. So go. Stock up on Brandonswag. And, God Beyond help me, send someone to take my wallet away from me, because I am about to buy like 10 of those beauties... [Editor's note: I too am going to spend way too much money right now on these. -Eric]
