Instead of the tradition wooden forms, I used old wood finials and tiny brushes with acrylic paint...this was my first attempt, and I am not used to such tiny brush strokes- I would love to give another round...hop over to her site to see many beautiful and creative examples...even the children were involved!
I love them! The detail on those little guys is just gorgeous. I think you've found a new medium! Have a wonderful weekend....

I think you did an outstanding job! They look great. You should make an entire family. I have seen the one's Betheny made, you're right they are beautiful. Perhaps my girls would like to try to make some...Thanks for sharing!
