The video on this page offers a pretty thorough look at my process, but if you'd rather read about it, here's the short version: I use design software on my computer to draw an illustration of your house by tracing a photograph. Once you've signed off on the illustration, I take the drawing apart, digitally, and create all of the different layers, parts, pieces, tabs, etc. for the finished piece. That file is sent to my computerized cutting machine (which uses a tiny little metal blade, not a laser) and cut, then I peel each little piece off of the sticky cutting mat the machine uses, and fold and glue each piece into place. Using technology makes the finished product more accurate, but this is still an incredibly time-intensive process.
