2009 Santas

The Night Visitor!! My most ambitious Santa creation to date. He was commisioned by my Aunt Sondi for her employer, Dr. Webb, in Charlest Town, West Virginia. This Santa took almost 6 months to complete, from the initial discussion to the final dressing. He is wearing grey flannel pants, a black and white long coat trimmed in black faux mink, a white childs dress shirt, a navy blue sweater and a mickey mouse tie. In his right hand is a walking cane with a lantern on top to help him on his night visits, and in his left hand is a vintage child's doctor bag (from the 1940's) filled with a blood pressure cuff, thermometer and other medical items. On his lapel is a cadeus (the medical symbol for medicine/doctors.) He is the tallest of all the santas made to date-standing a roughly 36" . I think if i had to pick one santa out of all the ones i have made, this would be my favortie, because he was such a challenge and he was made with love. Hope you enjoy him Dr. Webb!!!!
Wow-a blue Santa?? Yes. He was commisioned by my friend Arlaine for her friend Sandee (who is a massage therapist). My father made the rocking horse. Thanks Dad!!
This Santa was done for my friend Arlaine's mother who lives in the great northwest!!
This Santa is an example of my Southwest Santa series. I try and use a southwest material and then incorporate feathers, beads and other objects that I think represent the Southwest.
This Santa is dressed in red velvet and is a sitting Santa. Perfect for a shelf or a mantle above the fireplace!!
This is my tribute to Americana..
This santa is about 22 inches tall and is dressed in red velvet with a gold sleigh filled with a tree and presents
