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.
