Yes! I "watch" (visit) a few eBay pages but I'm not registered there so I can't be tempted to bid! :innocent:

Seriously folks... there are some creative members who could, I'm sure, post photos of their artistic creations on this thread, so I'll step back and hope the images appear...

I thought this would be a suitable topic for a december picture competition because many people are making cactus - related presents anyway and for this one there is no need for a cactus actually being in flower at this time of year.
This naturally isn´t in the competition

Here are some little knitted characters. Made by a local woman who knits all kinds of odd things and sells them at local fairs. I've often wondered if I could commision an Aztekium or something!
