Papier Mache Santas

This little guy was one of my favorite santas.  I have misplaced him or sold him, not sure which but anyway he's gone.  I could try to make another but it's not easy to do even with practice.  Since we work without molds....it's kinda like what you see is what you sometimes get.

Fall and Halloween Decorating!

Fall and Halloween decorating has  become as popular as Christmas, so here are a few more of our creations for that season.  I start my fall decorating process  the first of September and my scarecrow is my first welcome addition, this fella has been very popular and is not limited to Halloween.  He can be made in a variety of sizes from 12-18 inches.  Doesn't he just look happy!!  Above him you see our little ghost disguised as a pumpkin, he always brings nice comments and smiles.

The Start of It All

I started working again at my santas, should have started earlier but...there's always a reason to postpone the start, but anyway I found one of my original old santas from way back in 1992.  That along with an older Uncle Sam were both in a box with some santas I have left over from last year 2012 vintage.

The santas have changed considerably.  

Worked a bit today finishing 6 snowmen that I have had started for several months now.  Have to finish them so I can start sculpting again.  

Now to finish the last 3 or 4.  

Oh and in the middle of all that, I found an ornament that Marge did last year and gave me for my tree so I thought I would share that as well.  The santa face is awesome.  I love how it's finished off with a dusting of glitter.  

Today's LoveKins

Santa Ornament

I took some photos of one of last year's Santa ornaments that ended up at my daughter's house.  These ornaments were some of our most popular designs.  I know both Marge and myself wanted Christmas trees with these...I have some photos of a tree with our ornaments on the tree.  In fact the page background is one of the photos but neither one of us has enough to fill a tree.  Anyway here are more photos from my new cell phone.  I know I made these ornaments on a trip to Texas one year and Marge worked on them as well during trips to NY.  Who knew you could sculpt while riding in a car cross country???  

This santas hat is painted a winter blue.  Love the color!  

More Snowmen and Some Early Santas

Woohoo!  Got an email from Marge with some of her snowmen attached.  Also I took a few new photos of my new found snowman this afternoon in my messy workroom.  I HAVE got to clean it up!!!

This little guy is melting.....so sad.  

This little guy is enjoying some wine.  Love it!

Here is one of Marge's scarecrows.  

This is my newly found snowman...he's on the worktable with multiple paint jars, glue, brushes and unfinished snowmen.  

It really is a mess down there.  I have lots to do...

....and I need to finish this guy.  Yes indeed it's a square snowman.

He will have a little sign that says Dare to be Different.  

Some of our Santas!  I think my brother has the one with the goose or duck.
