Far Guy was an awesome woodcarver all summer.
He sent me this photo when I was at the craft retreat back in September.
He painted all the beaks for me. The birds are all belly up on the table!
During the month of October I painted almost every day.
I found some leather cord to use for the hanger. They are simple painted Cardinals each one is a bit different.
I have a few left to hand deliver, all the far away mailings have been delivered.

What are the little birds for?
The birds are amazing. It's clearly a labor of live, but my goodness, what a lot of work and effort. The recipients are blessed indeed.
I love those. Every winter when we see Cardinals in our back yard, my husband talks about his grandmother having a ceramic cardinal on a shelf near her wood stove.
Beautiful! An awesome gift!
These are amazing! WOW!
Beautiful! A true labor of love! RHill, TX
You are both so talented. Nice work!
Sandi, They are Christmas Ornaments
The cardinals are beautiful - how special that the two of you do something like this each year and how special for people to have something that both of your hands have made. I am in awe.
I was surprised and delighted to be chosen to receive an ornament. I had been reminiscing about my mother when the mail arrived and the moment I opened it, I felt like it was a sign from her (and you and your lovely husband). I know it has been a difficult year for you with your parents and I would like to think the cardinal is a special connection for us and them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
These are so cool! I look forward to seeing what the carved ornament is every year.
They are just beautiful! I always look forward to seeing what you two have created. Just beautiful! :)
Those are absolutely amazing!
WOW! Those are impressive!
These are amazing and so beautiful!
These are so nice and they represent those who have gone on.
The cardinals are super...what an eye catching ornament on one's tree!
They look so damn cute, I like them
They look amazing! You and FG make a great team.
Oh, they are wonderful! Maybe your best yet, IMO.
Oh so cute! You and Far Guy are so creative!
Cute Cardinals.I like that no two are exactly alike ❤❤
Oh my - those are just fabulous!! You two make a great team working on these.
Wow....those cardinals are gorgeous! Can I be a member of your family?????
Well done!
They are so beautiful and how lucky each person who receives one is. A gift from the two of you, created with the wonderful talents that the Lord has blessed you both with.
Blessings and hugs,

They are so great. It was a lot of detail work to get them carved and too to paint them was a lot of time involved. People will really like receiving them. I bought special see, big bucks, to see if I can lure one or two cardinals to the feeders. Too much development that took out too many trees so there just aren't as many in the area. I bought myself a new tube feeder just because. Christmas is coming for sure.
WOWeee!! The talent and workmanship shows. These cardinals are priceless!
They are beautiful! Maybe my favorite yet.
Lovely!! And now my favorite (each year a new favorite comes along) :) So well done and very much appreciated! Thank you!
