Robert, Your ornament looks great. It's strange but I tried Gary's ornament this week as well. His instructions are very good and I want to practice the techniques he uses further. I split 2 scrap pieces and made 3 ornaments for the kids. With a piece left over my wife also wanted one so I made 4. I don't have the detail mastered as well as you but will keep trying.

Looking real good Robert, although I'm not sure I'd let that fellow on the left in my house.
