That had to hurt.

Yikes. I'll make do with my gray and red birds, though one of these days I'll
get that newer Belville set that has lots of food and dish elements (___'s
Bazaar, I think), and that has the pastel birds.

Do you know what that's from, btw?

Unfortunately not at that scale. You could use my Dewback design. :)

though that would make quite a meal. :P

Wow. The illusion is perfect. Okay, nearly so. Looking back I see what you
mention in your response to Tobbe about the hammer being flipped around.

Yeah, I kind of figured the two in the front had headlight bricks atop their
heads.

It's an outstanding job. It really looks like it wraps around corners and
curves, and the shading is right, too.

I was just contemplating using that book last night, but I had to stack another
book on top to partially cover the snake. Both the black and the brown HP books
would be great if they were more generic. Most of the other books, too. I
usually end up photoshopping out the covers and spines.

I've never seen this usage. I'm going to pull out my bag of flames when I get
home and play around.
Later,
