The Beast
I haven’t been doing so great on my promise to give only hand made gifts this year, but I did just finish a pretty large birthday present for my Step Dad, Larry.
Brian and I have been working on this painting of his truck for a few months now. It’s a bit late but it is finally done! A lot of work and long hours went into this but it was worth it to see how happy it made him.
Brian did some awesome detail on the skeleton:
and the license plate:
The Beast is a bit of a nick name for the truck. It is 30 years old. Originally bought for only $800, and still manages to start up on cold winter days.
Not sure if I will be able to get around to anything else this big for presents this year. I guess I should start now if I want to at least be able to do Christmas handmade.
