Thank you for inviting “stunnables” to the group

[stunnables]

This is Jürgen from stunnables. Thank you for the invitation to join the Abstract Art group.

I thought I'd send a short introduction to the group about our products and the new Etsy “stunnables” store.

We are the inventors of fotoflōt - a unique display system and an attractive alternative to traditional framing. For over ten years we have made our customers' images look stunning: no glass, no glare, no mat, no frame. Images float off the wall or desk creating a subtle but dramatic effect and panels are held in place magnetically. Our customers are professional photographers, fine arts photographers, and photo enthusiasts and we have shipped their fotoflōts to over 50 countries.

Over the years, we have been astounded by the beautiful images of Space and Earth created by NASA, the European Space Agency ESA, and others. They are generally displayed online, in magazines, and books, and we decided we want to share them with others in a more permanent and accessible fashion.

We have carefully curated a selection of Earth and Space images, and have edited them to bring out the details, colors, and textures. While they have great scientific interest (described in each accompanying text), they also can be viewed as abstract images that are beautiful in their own right.

We call these art pieces “stunnables” since the combination of Earth and Space images and fotoflōt panels create truly stunning displays. Sizes currently range from 4in x 6in to 20in x 30in but additional sizes of up to 4ft x 10ft will be added soon.

Feel free and drop us a note if there is anything we can do for or with you, or if you come across stunning images we should dd to the collection.

Thanks again. Here a few sample images:

Thank you, Stephanie. I really like your paintings. Looks like you are located not too far from us.

Beautiful work.  Glad you shared.  I favorited your shop.

My genre of work on Etsy is twofold.  I make 3D printed artist tools, mostly for polymer clay artists and I also sell my own jewelry at

www.cleverclayshop.etsy.com.   Thanks for looking. - Leslie

Thank you for the kind words, Leslie.

I took a look at your 3D printed tools. Very cool. What printer are you using?

We got an Ultimaker a few years back and have used it a lot for product prototypes and short product runs. It is always amazing to see how the parts you just designed on the computer become real in front of your eyes. We started out with PLA as well, but quickly moved to ABS due to our use cases.

Once I printed something similar to your cutters. We were making a larger batch of a deep fried Hungarian desert and had to cut the dough into very precise parallelograms with a slit in the center. Looked so easy in videos online, but it did not go very well with the roll cutter.

I quickly whipped up a design and printed this four-up cutter. We processed a lot of dough and each piece was perfect. Looks like your “blades” are much better, though.

Too bad we cannot insert images in replies here.

Looks like there is a way to embed images after all. But you have to use the HTML editor and <img> tags

Here the image of the cutter

Thanks for viewing my shop.  We have two printers, but use our Ender-3 the most.  Your design four-up cutter was very cool too.  Next I want a laser cutter.  

[stunnables]

Laser cutting as very cool, Leslie. We do that since we invented fotoflot in 2006 and use a smaller bed cutter (32in x 20in) and a large flat bed (8ft x 4ft) with two laser heads. Laser cutting creates our unique panel edges.

Since it works by burning and vaporizing a small amount of material in the cut, things can catch on fire and some materials should not be cut since the fumes are toxic.

Good luck!
