That is really cool and unexpected! Really neat. The Kokeshi and the skunk further down your page are also really cool. Great job!

Eric these are wonderful! I would love to make some as gifts for friends and wondered if you are priming the cans/bottles with acrylic then painting over? Any prep suggestions would be great.
