wiseheartI've finally finished A's Advent-themed desk decoration piece. Well, almost. I still have 20 matchboxes to disguise as Christmas gift packages, but the main structure is done.
Current state:
It turned out very much how I imagined it (with the exception of the pine trees that are rather miserable, but they'll have to do), and I even managed to work with the glue gun without injuring myself!
In the afternoon I finished one of the XL-sized Christmas Elves. I'm less than happy with it. The details are gorgeous, if I say so myself, but when put together, it makes a rather clumsy impression. Mum says I should have made an oval face instead a round one, it would look better that way. So I'm going to cut the face of the other one narrower and hope for the best. Pics later, when Elf #2 is finished.
I also made good progress writing-wise. Half of the chapter is translated. I'm really glad I've managed this much, as next week promises to be rather busy... again.
