I'd love to see something where you take the House Facade and put the owner's family out front, giving them little cartoon bodies with heads printed from photos they supply then attached to the cartoon's shoulders with tiny springs. Or near realistic curved Bamboo segments. Or, with a little fine sanding, curved & foreshortened representations of your favorite mug you can frame & mount on the wall. Or Foreshortened 3-D representations of Tikis in profile or 3/4 view to add to signs. Have you tried cutting colored Transparent or Translucent materials that could be inserted into matching cutouts within signs to allow you to light them up from behind? Tiki Bar Lamps!
