good morning to all...

and i (almost) hate to say it...from a "warm and sunny north florida"...(we had the air conditioning on last night)...

the next "flattie" project is shown below...a "caroling family"...note that i have overlapped the figures slightly from the painting pattern...this will make the cutting out easier and stronger...i will add "layers" of details to each figure...probably hat brims, coat collars and the songbooks with hands...i'll post a few pictures of these parts later...oh, yes...there will be lots of colors...

my very best regards...howard...

good morning to all...

here's the "caroling family flattie" cut out and mounted on the base...the base will be shaped at each end after the glue dries...

i've added the layering to the figures...but only went with the hat brims and the songbooks with hands on each one...

primer, paint and glass glitter on the base are next...

my very best regards...howard...

You know Howard--instead of paint--you might want to get a set of really fine tip markers.....

Howard the carolers are beautiful!! I can only imagine the time these take and the steadiness of the hand to paint these beautiful pieces.
