18” Victorian Father Christmas
When you rotate a tall item, it comes out squatty, therefore
I have left picture number four unturned. He is tall and
lovely, but the camera makes him look short and stumpy
when you rotate the picture.
Sorry, but I did want you to see him the way he really is.
I have a witch listed and she also is tall, but looks squatty.
It has been 12 years since I have done a standing like this.
I lost the mold and to me it was irreplaceable. I loaned it
to a friend and never got it back.
Recently a friend gave me one I made for her, and
thus you see before you, a long forgotten memory.
This old fellow stands about 18” tall.
His face is from a startlingly wonderful mold, just look at that nose.
He has paper mache boots,
I have hand painted his face and hands, they are made from clay.
He is dressed in velvets, and the coat velvet is very old,
it is from vintage drapes from the Victorian era.
Santa is fully posable; His hat is trimmed in ermine
and his collar is Silver Fox. His boots are trimmed in
vintage Chenille. He holds a walking stick with Feather Tree Sprigs.
Also a wonderful old Putz Elephant on a pull stand.
I am thrilled to be able to get back to this size
after 12 years as they were enormously popular.
He is standing on a wooden base that has had “snow” added
and it is signed and dated.
