Nice work Suzy! I love Alan's Shelf Elves and always keep a couple of blanks handy for when I get bored and can't think of anything else to do. I first ran across his elves when I purchased the magazine that they were in and he autographed it for me. I've still got it. Maybe it will be a collector's item someday! Did you stain your elves or is that natural? What kind of wood did you use?

Thanks all. Eddy I used basswood and used Dave Brock's method of painting and antiquing from his you tube video. It is great.
