We will post new ideas, new projects, new engravable products and information on all the specials in the store and studio.
We will also post information on different materials and methods, what works and what doesn’t, and general day to day trials and tribulations in the shop.
We welcome your comments, questions and feedback – especially if you overwhelming thrilled with us and want the world to know.
We are also on Facebook and Twitter
Since the move to Grand Junction in 2007, Wildflower has been very low key and has quietly, and infrequently, operated in the background. Blue Star Mothers commitments and activities have taken the forefront and very little has been done as far as laser engraving and artwork production.
We are shaking off the dust and airing out the studio and will be back in production full scale this month. At this time we are also planning a move into a stand alone location and out of the garage and home office.
Additionally we are redoing the main website at www.wildflowertech.com as an online store with shopping cart features.

“If you wanted to break into a new industry, who would you ask? Somebody who knows all about it, right?
Well, that’s why we got Jason Geil ( whose photos have been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Rolling Stone Magazine) to give us some real-world tips about how to get started in professional photojournalism.
If you already make loads of money as a professional photographer, this article isn’t for you (although we still love you).”
Photojojo » 9 Tips for Breaking into Photojournalism:
Last spring I had a major problem with the laser and had Jim ready to load it on the uHaul and take it back to Golden. Eventually I managed to talk to a tech who thought he might know the problem and he walked me through the process of cleaning the encoder strip. It worked.
I was called the next day by the regular tech and he said I shouldprobably not have done that myself and that its a rare scenario. I disagreed and suggested it find its way into the manual as a maintenance item. I was told that if it did I would know and — well I am pleased to report that it has now been added to the tech notes on the website — and there is even an instructional video.
Please note that the directions are for ALL models and it is now recommended that this procedure be carried out once a month.
I guess I should not be surprised that the new drivers address the tickle problem that resulted in extended wait times if the laser wasn’t used daily. This was another ‘isolated’ problem with my machine.

the laser area
storage area (a girl can never have too many clamps)
wood working area and benches
the southeast corner
and last but not least — the view into the house through the open door
