At long last, Jack and Zero are complete, and on display.
In fact, Jen even says someone stopped by the house just to say how much they liked them.
Some challenges that needed to be overcome include:
Jack falling over and breaking. Head falling off, and the hand holding the ball broken. The Christmas Tree stand I had holding him up while paint dried was apparantly not quite enough.
Zero, on the other hand, was difficult due to his nose. NO ONE in this town had a G40 lightbulb in red. I DID, however, find an ENTIRE STRING of G40 Christmas lights. So, I have all the bulbs we’ll be needing for a while.
Still, making them is much more fun than anything you can go buy.
Jack’s ornament this year produces enought light to do away with the spotlight, letting the house lights show off unimpeded this year.

Zero, on the other hand, was set up to soak up light from the best wire tree ever. I wish we would have bought several of those, as I’ve never seen another quite so bright, or in the white and blue color.
