Don't ask me how, but I've acquired a large amount of thin sheet copper...

Coasters for Christmas presents this year?

[Hannah @hannahmakes]

@ckly2000 I make myself a paper stencil then tape it onto the pumpkin, prick the outlines with a pin and go to town with a craft blade 👍

[Hannah @hannahmakes]

Yeah yeah yeah, so I know it's massively late for Halloween but it's been a really busy year, okay?

Maisey isn't impressed by the likeness, but I hope you are!

[Hannah @hannahmakes]

@joeltelling Which would be especially bad since its not at all inkeeping with Kuka's fabulous orange colour scheme 😂

[Hannah @hannahmakes]

@ArcheanCraton @joeltelling BWOD, it could catch on!
