Good times. Good times. This is what I did over my extended weekend. I got in a zone and didn't stop until it was finished. The wife would yell down to the shop once in a while and ask if I wanted to do such and such with her and the boys. Not now! Maybe later! :lol: It feels good when the piece takes over and doesn't let you go. This piece is accounted for, but please let me know if you'd like anything similar. Christmas will be here before you know it!

I really like the blockiness of the pirate girl, especially her hair. It makes me think of a boardgame piece for some reason. The whole thing of being able to tell a little story is just so amazing, and something I would have never thought about.
