Thanks to the people who agreed that blindbags can indeed go in the oven, this turned out perfectly!
I also took photos along the way, mostly to see how I could improve next time.

I really wanted to get this done for his birthday back in January, but I just really didn't have the time with my mountain of Uni work, so I finally got some time to myself this weekend and spent all my spare time working on it! I'll be finding a fancy box to package it in soon and will present it whenever we have our 'valentines' dinner.
Anyway! If this seems like a profitable customisation business, I may have to open up a space on my etsy store for customs!
(That being said, I currently have 15% off at my Etsy shop! Use the code FEB152013 at the checkout :] )#
Cheers for looking! If you can offer any advice or criticisms, I'd love to hear them! (Especially on getting paint layered correctly.)
