When the paint was dry I used a marker pen to outline and add features. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tilda loves the new set and especially making them stand on each others head, like a totum pole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2203/4154870899_5ecf73453d_m.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 240px;&quot; src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2203/4154870899_5ecf73453d_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the photos, I think I need to make a sheep, just to finish the set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2682/4155626342_b3b60eecd3_m.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 214px;&quot; src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2682/4155626342_b3b60eecd3_m.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://snowy-tales.blogspot.com/feeds/415041970811680644/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://snowy-tales.blogspot.com/2009/12/champagne-nativity.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8603096802887039125/posts/default/415041970811680644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8603096802887039125/posts/default/415041970811680644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://snowy-tales.blogspot.com/2009/12/champagne-nativity.html' title='Champagne nativity'/><author><name>Snowfairy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00177931157105386562</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='22' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIe-xpHuZu8e-cA2kdsUq2ULIimCG2VmmLF-8s369P5tagabTdHOjaTAPin2X802flLKB755NYIfP6OHOvkYB9y6rOEUlzhJE5Pd4kTQxb0cbYZjjga0wAbN6RRIRjJg/s220/hulberts10.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/4154877887_7d83ff6277_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
