Ornament 2022

Far Guy did an awesome job on this years ornament. 


 They begin as a block of wood with somewhat of a shape. 


Here they look like cats...but they are not done yet! 


They are reindeer...some of the noses are more sparkly than others. 

I only woodcarved two or three of them, but I did the wood burning and together we painted them.  I tied all the bows and Far Guy attached all the chenille stem antlers.

It is a wonderful ornament. Both of you did a great job of pulling off a nice one. The first shot of the beginning was making me think you were going simple this year. It was a lot of carving. Again, great job!!!!!

I was going to say cats too! But the antlers are a must for Reindeer.
