a few things i finished today

[Dragonkort]

ok here are some things iv been working on and finished today, the first one is steve goods raiser holder.. I made several of these I use the woodflooring to make these as they wont warp in a steamy bathroom and are water proff… I did some with the design from the original pattern on the side and then I made some with an angle on the side. im not totally happy about the edges but couldn't think of any way to make them look better... the last onces are of the bulldog toothpicks. I made 2 of them one for me and one for my oldest daughter for Christmas...but I didn't paint it the brile color of her bulldog moose...because I didn't think I could make it look right...lol I took several pictures at different angles...the one with the plan purple collar is for my daughter and the one with the spikes on it is mine but I think I got a little carried away with the spikes lol it didn't look like that many when they were just holes!! lol  oh well I will know better next time..and the reason I painted the collars purple is because purple is my oldest daughters favorit color...lol I chew on nicoteen toothpicks to help me cut down on my smoking so I used the old toothpicks to make the spikes...they were not easy to get about the right size and glueing them into to holes was not a whole lot of fun either but I don't think they look to bad
