Grandkids' Christmas Ornaments
My daughter-in-law asked if I could turn the grandkid's drawings into Christmas ornaments. It was based an an idea she had seen.
I had these drawings to work with:
I did a quick trace in VCarve using the freehand drawing tool. I did a light etch on the material using a V-bit to profile On the line. I then used gel stain to darken the lines. My wife did the painting.
