Here’s the 2014 dated ornament.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I took an “eye of Horus” pattern and created a dual eye. I kinda like this!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A lovely chickadee fretwork … the first year I made it. I’ve made a number of these over the years, out of various types of wood. After several years of sighing over the ones I sent out, I finally made one for myself.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made a number of these over the years, but this was the first year of making it, in various sizes and colours. The thicker ones stand on their own very nicely. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A lovely pair of swans, made in pine but painted in a shiny chrome. Personally, I love the look of wood, but have to admit that sometimes a different finish can produce striking results.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Well, this is something different that I made for some friends of mine. It somehow seemed appropriate.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

OK, this is a bit rude. Well, a lot rude. I’m a big fan of the show “Serenity”, as are some of my friends. On the show, the actors sometimes let loose with a stream of Chinese-sounding words. Turns out that those were actual Chinese swear words. Someone put those curses up on the Internet, and I created this from that. The Chinese-speakers at work blushed and refused to translate, simply saying that it was, “Bad. Very bad.” <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A light-hearted piece of fretwork. The lines are rather narrow, which can make cutting out the piece something of a challenge.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Beaudelair prefers to be thought of as “otherly jolly” at Christmas. Apparently festive hats are not his thing.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As for Eddie and Gritz, they managed to escape the hat, and set themselves up to enjoy the fire. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
