HARBINGERS OF CHRISTMAS



Greetings from "EVI'S SANTA"




"Evi's Santa" is 20 " tall and stands on
a painted and antiqued wooden base.

I used a vintage wool blanket to make
his coat.
The belt is a beautiful piece of wool trim,
and the buckle is mother of pearl.




His Christmas tree is a vintage bottle brush tree.




I hand-molded his head from paper-clay,
which I then painted and antiqued.

His beard and hair are soft sheep's wool.




The little pull toy was purchased and meant
to be a Christmas ornament.




His toys are carried in an antique berry
basket.
The little doll is made by me using paper-clay,
which is painted, antiqued and dressed in
vintage fabric.
My hubby makes all my Noah's Arks, which
I then paint.
Santa also carries a plush teddy, some little
vintage soldiers, a vintage wooden block,
a star, greens and red berries.




Evi's Santa is $ 378.00 plus shipping.
Evi's Santa is sold! Thank you very much.




This is my "TRADITIONAL SANTA"

He stands 20" tall on a stained
wooden base.

The coat is made from beautiful wool,

and has a cape.





Santa's face is hand-sculpted by me from
paper-clay, painted and antiqued.

His hair and beard are sheep's wool.





Besides his wonderful basket of goodies,

he is walking a little sheep.

Don't know where I got it, but it is sweet!





He carries a cute little dolly.
She is made by me from paper-clay
and dressed in vintage fabric.




His basket carries small treasures,
a sailing ship, a teddy, little soldier, a star,
greenery and red berries, and a
wonderful little hand-made log cabin.
( It was once meant to be a necklace pendant,
but is not made by me)
The little Noah's Ark on the other hand
was made by hubby and painted by me.





Here is another view of this
harbinger of Christmas.











The Traditional Santa is sold!


Thank you.

Enjoy!




God bless,

Evi
