Santo Nicolas

sold

My reproduction of an early Santa figure, (whom I've nicknamed Santo Nicolas since I never found time to do the Santos that I have been wanting to do all year).

I love the detailing on this one. The wide set passive eyes, threadbare moustache, ratty, stained clothes, faded tree... No jolly old elf.

About 18 inches tall.

Humbug!

sold

Since tonight is the start of our Open House, I thought I'd give a sneak peek of my new Scrooge for this year. I only did a few this year, and some are already pre-sold, but there will be a couple of them for sale only at the Open House. As you can see, this year I did him in a grubby nightshirt and nightcap, on tiptoes and peering over his shoulder with a candle in hand. I'm happy with how they turned out, but I love anything to do with Scrooge, or Dickens for that matter.

Hope to see some of you this weekend!

Figures update

Just wanted to let those of you know who wanted a figure last year after they had sold out...I have done a few more of these ones, but they will only be available at the show.  I am also working on new ones for this year that we will have at Ball's Falls Oct. 7th-10th, and they will be available on a first come-first served basis. I apologise, we have a full schedule from now until late November, and just aren't able to take any more orders until then. We hope to see you at the show.

Update: Sold out. Thanks.

Figures

Ebenezer

the Crone

These were a bit of a departure for me, but one that I really enjoyed. In my days working as a propmaker I did my fair share of larger-scale armatures and figures, but these were a different thing altogether. The bodies were carved from pine, and then built up to completion with everything from paperclay to polymer, fabric, pasteboard etc. I was glad that they were so popular, because they were a welcome change of pace and I plan to do more in the near future. Sizes vary from about 10" to 18.5" tall. All sold.
