I have two new paper-cuts to show you today, both of which have been created by special request. (I apologise up front for the slightly eerie blue light, it was the best I could do in a day where the sun barely showed it's face before giving up and going back to bed!) On separate occasions as Christmas has approached both my boys have come to me with a wish to own a paper-cut of their own. Sam wanted something with trees and nature and Jack asked for a castle with turrets, something like the buildings he had seen in this gift. I loved the fact that they asked for these gifts and was determined to make them something special, that they could treasure. Inspired by their requirements and the pet names we have for them I have made Sam this.....
...and Jack this one....
These were the last two gifts I had on my list that I would have been upset not to complete in time for Christmas, everything else from here is a bonus rather than a necessity and I think I have found a pattern for me that might have to get started soon! The next job is to complete a special Advent calendar in time for it to begin next week.....I promise to reveal all once it is out of the secret bunker (my workroom) and on display. Have a great Thanksgiving all of you who celebrate it! I am going to spend my weekend catching up with all the jobs I should have been doing that because of the present making have been sadly neglected - oops!
