Your a Mean one....Mr. Ginch!

So I was contacted by a family friend (Shes's practically family) But she had seen these wooden life sized Grinch yard decorations to put out for Christmas. You hang one string of lights with the end coming down to his hands and you are completely and perfectly decorated for Christmas! It looks like he's stealing your lights! How cute is that? Whoever come up with that is genius! She was wanting one for her Dad, who loves to decorate for Christmas...but didn't feel up to it this year. But the prices for them were outrageous and shipping was just astronomical! So she asked if I could make one. Never made one like that before....but sure! Love a challenge! So I bought the wood and got to work! I free-handed him onto the board, then got out my jig saw and cut him out. Then the fun part...painting him to life! Now I am NOT a wood worker...so I am sure the edges aren't sanded perfect or anything....but like I said...I am NOT a wood worker. BUT....what I am good at...painting! And I think that really showed well in this project! He turned out so cool...and HUGE! Way bigger than I anticipated! heheee! She loved it! So did a ton of other people when I shared him on Facebook! So many people asking about him...I decided to start selling them and within an hour I had 5 orders! So looks like the Grinch was a hit! Here are the pics of him in progress. I may just have to make one for my own yard this year! :-)

 

I LOVE this pic! Selfie with the Grinch! hahahaa!
