I am making Pet Angel Ornaments. The two outer ones are made of alder, the two inner are made of poplar. The wings are walnut. The cat is 2 1/2" tall while the dog is 2 3/4"tall. Asking $10.00 each with discounts on multiple ornaments. Also still doing puzzles and now portraits from photos in wood.

Awww, good to hear from you. Not only are they cute, and handcrafted, but as anyone with a cat knows - unbreakable is best! ;)

And this cat angel looks to have a little attitude.

orders can be sent to my email [email protected]. payment can be sent through Paypal or if you want to send payment, let me know and I can send you the address. Also state whether you would like cat or dog, light or dark wood for the body. Wings will be of contrasting wood unless you prefer same type of wood. Shipping would be $2.00 for first and $1.00 each additional ornament. Any questions, feel free to email me. Thanks!

Tim is VERY talented! He made some puzzles for me awhile back of Beenie and Frankie. They are awesome. I gave them to my husband as a Christmas gift and he was so happy! They are on our mantle and I'm sure some of you have seen them in pictures.

Thanks for the kind words! Here is an example of a portrait I designed from a Graduation photo taken in 1958 along with the original. Trying to find the original for another one I did. Patterns are best when the original is of decent size and clear. I have designed a few from small and fuzzy photos but you tend to lose alot of detail. The photo has to be converted to a black and white through several processes to maintain detail. Then has to eb converted into a pattern which is cut on my scrollsaw. You have to make sure that when you cut out certain areas that the whole area doesn't fall out, or as they are called 'floaters'. It can take 4 to 12 hours to make a pattern. Then can take another 3 to 20 hours to cut depending on complexity. Also posted are some ornaments I have cut out for a Christmas show that is coming up next month. I have 31 breeds available at this time. Comments welcome!

Finished doing a craft show last weekend and had to come home and cut more Pet Angels And Ribbon Angels. Have had good response with these. Have another show on Thanksgiving weekend and will see how that goes. Also cut many dog ornaments. Hard to determine which breeds to cut. Have 32 breeds now and designed a few new ones that people had asked for.

Maybe you can check AKC registration stats for the area you are going, or call the Town Hall and see if they keep any breed statistics?
