Christmas Etching

Not much advanced technique here. Dollop some foam in three stacked circles and then etch away.

The wings are rosettas that I finished off down their sides and not the middles, then dumped out lumps of foam for the head and body. Minimal etching was done for a halo, mouth, and arms. Here's a free-pour version of the same thing:
