“Christmas ornaments I couldnt put away”

Nicely made, colorful, and adorable. We couldnt get a Christmas tree this year (the wildfires in California depleted the local stock) so I set them on my desk for the time being - then decided I wanted to keep them there.

“Beautiful, bigger than I expected”

This is a lovely hummer; the tail pieces are individual but the wings are thankfully already glued together. Very charming.
