    Very nicely done! Tim Burton is dark. Either you really like him or you really don't, in my opinion. I like most of his art, but I recognize that it is a category unto itself. I didn't like Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. I think he made the movie creepy. And I believe that sums up Tim Burton's style completely. He is dark and creepy. Perfect for a Nightmare Before Christmas. Your son-in-law will love these. You probably will be earning brownie points for being a cool mother-in-law.

    Owlvamp: I found the sample pictures online in the "images" section. Then I traced pattern pieces by look, doing the best I could. After cutting it all out, I used two sided bonding webbing, and then stitched a super small zig/zag around the edges. "Scars" etc. were done with a satin stitch. The good thing about this project is the lines don't have to be perfect. Wonky stitches, uneven, etc, actually make it look more like the pictures I saw.

    Hope I am earning points. Will let you know!

    I just went through the same thing. My step daughter loves skulls, dragons, etc. Not my thing but we aim to please. Very sweet of you to do that.

    Not my taste, either, but he'll like it and that's what counts. You did a terrific job!
