Commissioned piece:
The butterflies have been sand-carved in 2 stages to give a darker shade to the filled in areas in the butterflies.

Quite a few of my customers have asked if can put the cake toppers on a base (rather than having a spike to secure them in the cake)... now I can :-)

Here's a couple of new designs with Kiwiana type graphics.  These are crafted (by me) from 3mm acrylic and the graphics and personalised messages are sand-carved.
