Stephen, you are so creative! The sign is a fine idea.

Oh my gosh I love it❤❤❤❤❤. The fan is beautiful. The drinking bottle with your name is wonderful really amazing you can create these beautiful items

Very very cool.

I love these videos where you make beautiful things with the laser machine!! More of that🙌🙌😀😀😀😀

Look at you go Steve! ❤

Beautiful! Clever!

Amazing creativity.

Wow Stephen...I love the fan...fabulous artistry with h4lp of your new creative machine. 👏👏🫶

Beautiful! So creative 😊

Argh, Steve. All that math needed to make the fan is hurting my head! You’re pretty amazing!🤗🇨🇦

Wow! All of these turned out amazing. You're going to need to make several. I think the shop will be quite busy. ❤

Love everything, especially the fan which I usually carry in my handbag. Guests would love them and possibly some of the art workshops could create their own paper and build a fan.

🥰🇨🇦

Time to have a laser learning week! Ingenious creations.

Fascinating you c!ever man!

Amazing Steve 🥰

Interesting! Very cool projects.

I like it❤🧡💛

😍Love your fan idea……its coming along beautifully! 🪭 It might be fun to include a tutorial on the secret language of the fan.🪭

Great idea's & wonderful results. Clever creative guy u r Stephen.

Just love them both…….fans for Xmas presents for your families in Canada.

Amazing!

you are a marvel , the things you create are so lovely!

Wow! That was fun to watch Stephen. You are very talented and smart. The monogram on you water bottle is too cool! Your sign is awesome too. Great ideas. Enjoyed seeing your artistic talents in motion. ❤❤❤

Wonderful ideas! Ladies love fans. Everyone is walking around with a water bottle

So cool! And beautiful! ♥️♥️♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another thought: the nicest abanicos come in fabric pouches. I had one made in some leftover lace that always draws complements. Sara could easily make those. Especially in a culture that is not used to carrying fans, finding a case would be difficult and the ones you find are not pretty.

Well done to you both. That looked like a wonderful retreat.

There is a language of the fan from Victorian times that might be amusing to include with the fan. The width open in example you were given is standard. Yours might be a little narrow. Your. Design is killer though.

I live in Mexico and use folding fans (abanicos, in Spanish.) a little bit larger fan moves more air, you might try scaling that up a bit. Just a suggestion!

The sign is so great! Instantly recognizable and well branded. (your fellow chateau owners may wish to place orders for similar signs someday.) I know that you host several local art events, and your sign reminded me of one that used to take place near our former home. It was a kind of art nature walk, for school age children (ages ~8 - 12.) One stop (or station) had instructions to draw a certain tree in the style of X artist or style with an example shown in a frame similar to yours. One stop or station had string and some twigs and pinecones and clay and you could make a little sculpture on a square of cardboard to take home. a few other stops had large cheap empty artsy frames framing the actual object to be drawn (one of these framed a chair ) (e.g. flower, boulders, and the most popular was at the end of the route had gnomes in a tree stump. The gnomes had some apple cores - STOLEN from the basket of apples staged early in the walk as a still life opportunity.) Each child was given an inexpensive small art pad and brought their pencils and crayons or markers from school. There were no rules, except you had to stop at at least half of the 7-8 stations. Then the students enjoyed apples of their own and returned to their schools to discuss their experiences as artists. The work was not graded, there were no awards - just art, outside, and for fun. I know you have a conveinient group of school age kids nearby, and wanted to mention this low-key art idea. A chance for kids to see themselves as true artists, and to know that they can aspire to show their art as adults someday in your exhibits at the chateau. Your "front lawn" where you just took down the big trees would be ideal - shady, sort of enclosed, room to stretch out, a few blankets to sit and do art. Or if you felt braver, open more of the grounds. Your mown paths are magical. Just an idea. :)

Great seeing you guys at LaLande Patreon Days. You guys were obviously very helpful at LaLande. Hey, Steve, can you and Stephanie update us on the tiles you finished from Stephanie's father's drawings? When will the tiles be made?

beautiful work Steve! I'm looking forward to seeing your work in Stephanie's Kitchen tile too!💕

I have a sandlewood fan that is carved with ornate cut-outs older 70's from China.

Your water bottle turned out cool! My daughter loved the owls on the fan and your new sign is nice!!

What a fun creative afternoon you’ve had…

I love fans, i did a project on fans when at college many many years ago !!! I hope you could sell these one day 🥰🥰

OMG what an awesome machine to expand your creativity Steve. It looks like so much fun - I would totally get into that! I have cricut machines to make paper art which I used for my classrooms in the preschool I owned. It was basically the same concept but only for paper and fabrics. I really love the items you have been creating and how cool it is you can put in your own concepts and designs. Truly a machine worth having for your specific needs.

You're having a lot of fun with that laser! Love everything you have produced, particularly the sign.

So much fun! In your capable hands.

You are such a talented guy Steve. You amaze me with not just your artistic skills but your technical skills and how you apply them to all your different projects . 😘🇨🇮

You are always coming up with useful, artful ideas. Love that! 🥰👍

Super interesting. Where does the exhaust go?

You're so creative Steve! That machine is truly incredible.

Beautiful Stephen

You make everything look so easy when I know it isn’t! Love what you’re doing with this equipment!

Love your sign! Well done fan idea is looking great when you get it down pat! Fun!

nice!

So Steve does this mean you can print Stephanie's Dad's tile , he desigbed for the kitchen!??

You must have had so much fun!
