Santa Diorama

New for 2009: Santa and his Dog

Featuring another one of my favorite designs which is entirely handmade without the use of molds or patterns. Each design is uniquely different and a one-of-a-kind original piece of artwork. The Santa and his trusted sidekick are sculpted out of air dry clay over assorted dried gourds. He sits upon a wooden chair with his hand sculpted stocking hat rests upon the back of the chair as an artificial tree is at his side. He is accompanied by his favorite winter time snack, a gindergread cookie and a hot mug of cocoa.

It is housed in a large dried bushel gourd which has been hand painted in acrylics, glittered and sealed with acrylic spray. The interior is painted black and heavily glittered that sparkles when lighted. It comes with a 7 watt clip light, and has been signed and dated. This is not a toy; please handle appropriately.

Approx. 20" tall x 18" wide.

Special priced at $65.00 + shipping and handling SOLD!
