Oh, he is so stinking cute! I agree, where do you come up with these ideas. Never too early for Christmas projects. I really like him and will have to add him to the "try to make" list. Do you have a pattern or details on the "how to" that you can share? If not, I will try to work from your photo if I can give it a whirl. I had an Aunt on my husband's side of the family who used to make beautiful projects like this. Many of her's were smaller but were "display" items that she handprinted. It was her work that first got me interested in getting a scroll saw all those many years ago (more than 15) but took me all these years to get back to learning it. I hope to use it to make this type of projects as well as it reminds me of her and her beautiful work. I like the "painted" look of them too. So much to do with my saw and so little time!
Thanks so much for sharing your photos of him.
