Welcome Sweet Baby Nico!

My best friend keeps procreating.  I mean if 18 month twins weren't enough she went and added this little cutie to her brood this past week.  I went to see him on Friday for the first time and of course I'm in love. He's so snugly!  So, as I did with his siblings, I creating a little "Welcome" to the world shadowbox.  Actually his is much more elaborate than the one I did for the twins, but my style has changed quite a bit then so I felt like I could do more.  

This is my attempt at photographing the glass etching I did with Nico's stats.  I wish I could get better pictures, but the etching is small and the glare was well, large, no matter what I did.  So please know that what you see cut out in vinyl is etched very nicely on the top left of the glass! 

I want you all to see how absolutely and unbelievably teeny tiny this vinyl cut was.  I wasn't even sure my Cameo could handle it and honestly it wasn't easy.  I threw away about six attempts before I got this clean cut.  My blade got gunked up more than once with itty bitty pieces and I thought I was going to have to pull out a new one for sure.  Grrrrr.  Turns out though with a bit of patience I was able to get it out and I worked with the settlings a bit more to get this cut.  Now weeding was something else, but hey, we do this all for the love of our craft right?
