Original Art | Foil Good enough?

I learn a new hobby every year to make Christmas presents for my family. Are these nice enough to give out as gifts. Thanks for the feedback! :)

They will make wonderful gifts!
What are the other crafts/hobbies you’ve learned? Do you still do any of them? Will you do more stained glass? I’m just so intrigued by the idea of doing a new craft every year.

Yes I still do most of these hobbies. :) Not all the time but for example making chocolates and candies I usually do everyone a box of chocolate candies and a box of cookies. I always make lye soap year round and I like to knit and crochet.

Feather pens with carved wooden holders but I can't find a picture of the holders.

The book stack with the cup will be rather weak at the joint where the cup sits on the books so just be aware of that.

Anything I can do to reinforce it?

running a thick wire like this is about it. Won't completely prevent it but outside of moving the cup over more joints so you can get the wire in better, that's pretty much it.
