Busy Month its been

We have been busy on a lot of little projects for ourselves and others too. Holidays you know.  Following are some images of pieces in process to give you an idea of how some of this is done.

 

These are repeat cuts of the first tooth and first hair cut boxes. They seem to be quite popular. I was asked to make 2, but the material would allow me to make 4 so waste not! I will have two for the next show.
