The late Christmas present, completed

My sister's Christmas present is finished, in all its irregular glory. Learn from my example if you ever do two facing profiles: make sure the eyes are on the same level. She seems to be somewhat taller than him. Here is how this started out. His collar is a little piece of fabric I found on the ground. Her flower is an antique frog from the antiques center (the closure kind of frog, not the amphibian).

Edit: ooh, I'm so excited. I figured out how to fasten it to the wall - glue a tack to the interior side of a snap (use silicon glue, I use the brand E6000), then sew the snap "socket" to the fabric. This is without a doubt the most brilliant thing I have ever done! Okay, maybe somebody thought of this before - please don't tell me.
