As an anniversary gift for my wife I thought it would be nice to paint our family as little wooden puppets.  A strange visual style you may think, but it's actually a more refined version of an approach I took with my card range Whittle Mill - a character range which was inspired my mine and my wife's relationship - and now it's come full circle!

I finished it off by etching a sweet little caption in wood to mirror the nature of the characters, then framing everything in a rustic wooden frame.

I'm happy to say that she loved it!
