Paddling Moose

[RangerJay]

Took a while - but these are finally done .....

This is my second "batch" of these guys - this time around I departed from the original pattern to better fit our towns theme as the Canoe Capital of Canada.  So instead of a kayak there is a canoe, instead of a kayaking double blade paddle there is a traditional single blade paddle.  Neither did I include the hanger for the Christmas tree - they are made to sit flat and be displayed (hopefully) year round.

They are a pain to make - but their desirability makes the effort worthwhile ..... kinda ..... sorta ...... every couple years or so ...... maybe ....

Thanks to Ruth Chopp for the original design - hope she doesn't mind the changes I've made.

[Scrappile]

They are cute.  I never quite understood then as Christmas ornaments, other than they were cute.  This I really like and think they will be a great hit.

Those look good. Looks like a pain to do.

WOW! You are a prolific scroller. Those are great. Reminds me of my youth. Firs week in June I and two friends would travel to Cranberry Portage, Sask. I remember seeing the Moose swimming in the lake. Tried to fish all the daylight hours but it stayed light too long. Thank you for sharing.

Cool! I like those.

Where's the beer, ehh?  Those all came out great.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

What a neat little project.  I was going to say cute and adorable, but didn't want to overuse them
