Project HoHoHo22 - The Beginning

As is now customary in the Pie Household, it’s time for me to decorate our windows with a festive silhouette design. This year I’ve decided on a simpler design than last, mainly to keep the cutting time down to something reasonable. Last year’s design probably took 40 hours all told, and that’s a bit much. This year it’s all about the hometown, with some iconic views that most tourist will recognise.

The two designs go one the two windows on the front of the house, and they’ll end up being cut and carved somewhat to make sure the important details don’t get lost between window frames. Initial cutting out of the panels is all done - next is the process of moving the designs onto the paper and cutting out the backgrounds.
