Santa for Sale!

Here is the first Gourd Santa that I completed. He is created from a "bowling pin" shaped gourd. I sculpted his face from air dry clay and meticulously created each of the toys in the basket on his back. The pop gun is carved from wood with a frail little string. The cork is created from a tiny piece of wood. The drum was constructed from cardboard and laced with string. The other items in his basket are each hand sculpted from clay. His beard is Lambs Wool. I spent a lot of time on this guy and I will be sad to see him go. I have put this Santa up for sale on Etsy. If I charged for my labor and love I put into him, nobody could afford him. Be that as it may, he is for sale at a very reasonable price. Please head over to Etsy and check him out. He's ready for the perfect place in your home or would make an awesome gift for that special person. He truly is One of a Kind!! Thanks for checking him out! My seller name on Etsy is "TomsHolidayTreasures".

Santa Finds a New Home

Well, I finally got this guy done and he found a new home. I especially love the way the little dog pull toy turned out. He has so many little details that were fun for me to sculpt. I sculpted his face, the doll, teddy bear, dog pull toy, apples and oranges all from clay. The tiny ship in his basket was done from wood, and I spent a lot of time painting everything. I added a touch of irredescent glitter to give him that magical look. Of course, not all little boys and girls are good, so for good measure, he is packing switches for the parents to keep them in line. Hope you enjoy seeing him as much as I enjoyed sculpting him.
