Laser cut Poe in stainless steel

Cheap laser-cutting has come to the world's crafters, and Etsy is awash in lovely, precision-cut tchotchkes of all description. Case in point: Edgar Allan Poe in black stainless steel, $26 from FableAndFury.

I got all excited when I thought I found a Banksy of Poe down by the Salton Sea, but everyone has since convinced me that I'm nuts.

It is very nice. I suspect all those sharp little corners may snag on clothing, however.

as a Baltimoron, this pleases me.

I'm generally disappointed when you've got this amazing level of detail in the cutting, and people don't even make a go of using it for more than two dimensions.

I have to admit, though, this looks great!

"Cheap laser-cutting" - anyone know how cheap?

i'm sorry but this is the destruction of my industry having someone quickly sketch out something draw it on a pc then popping out thousands in an hour. this is one of the markers of the end of goldsmiths

Awesome that "The Angel of the Odd" is in the shot. Long my favorite weirdest near-unknown of his works.
