New Work

I'm a little late in posting this week but I wanted you to see what I finished last week.

I finished another "Arctic Christmas". This one is the seventh in an edition of eight. I will only be creating one more in this edition. This Santa is SOLD.




I also created this 24" wreath. The Santa face is quite large. The wreath is decorated in pinecones, berries and ribbon. This wreath is SOLD but I will be creating three more wreaths in the next few weeks.


This week I am working on my special edition piece for the Holiday Open House on December 6th at Village Artisans where I will be the Artist in Action. Check back to get a sneak peak!!

Two Santas Completed

Another week has passed and I have two more Santas to post.

The first Santa is "Christmas Cookies". I introduced this Handsculpted Artist Edition of six last year and it nearly sold out. This is the last one I will create in this edition. "Christmas Cookies" stands approximately 25" tall to the top of his hat. His cookie and cookie dough are handmade. This Santa is SOLD.

The second is "Olde World Santa". I introduced this Handsculpted Artist Edition a few years ago. This is the 9th in an edition of 12. This Santa stands approximately 22" high. He carries a birch bark bag of toys over his shoulder and a Christmas Tree. All of the walking sticks for this edition are handmade by my husband, Forrest. This Santa is available.
