Gift - The Housewarming Pineapple

Obviously, the art block is still quite real, but I managed to push myself into making at least this gift for Muge's cousin and his girlfriend.  They moved into their new place and we spent Saturday there for dinner.  It was a really nice time, and doing this taught me of the history behind why the pineapple is a "near universal" symbol of hospitality.

It's a big hard to see it in a photo, but the sections on the pineapple shimmer gold :P  That gold and silver shimmer watercolour palette was probably one of the best things that came in those sketch boxes I got.
