Here are the pics of the evolution of Evie's present. I started out with an 8 x 10 inch mirror with a 1 inch bevel around the sides. I also used an X-acto knife to cut out a stencil of the Kanji characters to be painted on later. I didn't photograph this part because it was a long and arduous task which required continuous and complete concentration. I didn't want to interrupt the flow by taking pictures.
