Default 5 Minute Mobile

These were some of my first pieces and I kept looking at their unpainted shabiness and trying to work out what to do with them.
They now make a nice little mobile all ready for our Christmas tree.
Amazing how paint can cover some of the boo-boo's too.

Rob,
This is the first carved mobile that I have seen. You gave me a neat thought about creating a carved wind chime, Thanks.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

I like those wizards, Rob. I did some from Gene's YouTube tutorial, and then cut it down from 6 inches to 4 inches. Carved 7 or 8 of them now. Guess I should get to painting.

Now that's a neat idea. Your little dudes turned out pretty good with a fresh coat of paint.
