      Thank you, and I’m surprised (and honoured) that you remember my previous posts, especially since I haven’t posted anything in some time now. I want to post more but didn’t get enough time lately to craft much, and even less to take pictures of things :/

      It is pretty fun to do, and actually started purely as a hobby; I never thought that I’d ever make things that people are even willing to pay for (and still am surprised they do)!

      And yes, I first drill a hole in each “area” and then slide the blade through it. The hard part is for very tiny areas, where the hole itself is almost as big as the area I have to cut out, and I end up having to drill holes of less than 0.5mm without breaking anything!
