About Me

My photo
I love all kinds of art. There are so many mediums to I have yet to explore and I find each one challenging and rewarding. I wish I had more time for it all. My family and job keep me busy, but I try to set aside time when I can, not only for the simple enjoyment, but also to continue to develop as an artist. I have two boys who are nearing college, and I try to spend as much time with them as I can. They are the most important thing in my life. I also love nature and the outdoors, I can often be found fishing, hunting, or just hanging out in the beautiful outdoors that God has given us.

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".
