I went back to one of the ones I did yesterday and fixed it up quite a bit. This nutcracker was a christmas gift from my mother-in-law soon after my marriage. It's just like the one in my childhood home, so I suppose it's the standard design. Looking at it closely as I painted it, I was struck by how truly disturbing it is - not at all friendly, like most other Christmas decorations. I like it all the better for that.
If you think part of the hat looks strange, it's because the paint is still wet.
