Summary

I just got my first laser a few weeks ago - the M1 Ultra. I decided to try cutting acrylic and wanted to find a design that would take advantage of the acrylic colors the 20W diode laser can cut. Red, orange, and yellow seemed perfect for flames. But I also wanted an image that was meaningful, which is why I decided to create this stained glass style wall art depicting the Biblical "Burning Bush." 

This was part of Moses's prophetic vision when God appointed him as His messenger to rescue the Hebrew slaves from Egypt. The related verse, in the original Hebrew, from Exodus 3:2 is included at the top of the image:
 וְהִנֵּ֤ה הַסְּנֶה֙ בֹּעֵ֣ר בָּאֵ֔שׁ וְהַסְּנֶ֖ה אֵינֶ֥נּוּ אֻכָּֽל 
"And there was a bush all aflame, yet the bush was not consumed."

The bush that burns without being consumed has various meanings and traditions attached to it. For me, it symbolizes faith and the ability to overcome adversity. It is a symbol of hope, resilience, and redemption. May its light shine for us all.

The vector image of the bush and mountain was created using AI Make's 2D graphics generator, with the prompt "stained glass burning bush on a mountain top that is in flames but not consumed." I edited the graphic to add sides and a bottom to the mountain for cutting, and added the text above it. The original SVG and the text are included as separate files here as well - feel free to swap the Hebrew text with the translation of your choice.

The flames and text are in opaque acrylic. If you have a CO2 laser, feel free to use transparent acrylic for a truer stained glass effect. The backing and frame are in MDF.

Enjoy!
