Smile Xmas for Mom and Dada
I finally finshed these two, the Pieta for mom and the firebird for pop,
Everyone at the gathering were very impressed, and they were voted the best gifts of the year, Gifts from the hand and heart.
I hope you like them.

Greg

I like them both very much. Lots of texture that works really well. The firebird is my favorite. I see why they were voted "best gifts of the year".
Thanks for showing them to us.
