FOR VIEWING ONLY...photo's as we progress with Vict.Santa's

Wonder if you could use the fluffy yarn?

can always try and see how it looks I sew mine on by hand using a whip stitch the "feathers" get stuck in the glue too much other wise LOL

love all the pix!!! great job ladies!

The whole family wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Trisha, just overwhelming..did you ever think they would have turned out so elegant...do they all have a home...can understand why another 12 faces have been requested and sent out...will you be doing more before Christmas or are they for next year?

The Original red one is mine, the others are gifts and still need a few more for gifts before Christmas......Thank you again for blessing us with the knowledge to do these......Thomas Fuller said "If you have Knowledge, let others light their candles by it." I think you may have lit a bonfire!

Trisha, those are so pretty. Your friends that recieve them will be very happy!

ooops, posted on view only..lol...

ROFL...but it is being viewed LOL...we'll let it slide this time ..hahaha

ok finished purple one hope you can see it

all the santa's are beautiful!

Gorgeous Liz !!!!!!!! they look wonderful

Here's ours finished.

Lovely, think my favorites are the blue..love the silver you have embellished with..look at those cuties in the sleigh...

As soon as I find some silver paint I like the sleigh will be that color too. Unless we can find a sled that one bear can sit on and the other pushes.

Wonderful Robin the silver really sets him off and love the bears in the sled

Junior Santa

This is Junior next to the full size Santa

we continue on.........a little L ady to go with the little Santa.

Great idea, Trish! I have about a dozen old Barbies I could use!

One of my favorite Thrift Shops here --"value Village"--has all kinds of small items that they bag and hang above all the racks--for aisles and aisles--just look up, and see what is in all those "grab bags" for like $1+ something.
I have seen bags-full of old Barbies. Besides--you can also use the hands and feet and the body for your X-Mas creations. Dainty......

Gita

Wow, that's the most glamorous Barbie I've ever seen! Love the fur.

Gita, Never thought of using old Barbies (and I Love Value Village)....my Mrs. face and hands are ones I molded out of polymer clay and painted......I may try pouring a few in plaster but it would be along process with only one tiny mold.. but I have fun with it.....!

Betty, my package arrived today! Thanks! I love the key!

Audrey, how wonderful..just a little something to wish you "Merry Christmas" I'll let the girls know on the Best/Worse thread that yours arrived so the other few should be arriving any day...

Blue and Metallics, mostly Silver......

Trisha, that is so pretty. I love the colors, and the scarf you made is really nice accent!

LK

He's gorgeous Trisha, I love the trimming.

WOW and WOW...I think he is the absolute Best!!
Where in the world did you find a small lantern???

I am so impressed, just smiling over here.

I hunted high and low for a lantern but with no success. Good for you in finding just the right touch for your Santa. The blue and silver is a good choice, too.

Please tell us where you got the lanterns from?

LK

$$$ store trees..for a change...

Will check out $$$ Store for Trees as soon as possible.......those looked great!!!
The lanterns are Christmas ornaments from the $$$Store....and found large butterflies to use for fairy wings!

Thanks for the info Trisha. Off to the dollar store again. I love that stpore!

LK

I definitely spend more than a dollar there!!!!

I do too, but you can get more products, than if you were shopping at Michaels!

LK

Wow, they are all just gorgeous! I really hope you do this again next year, I'd like to try my hand, DH loves Father Christmases!

So here is the pair.......

Does anyone here know who Romy is? I got a beautiful Nene Thomas necklace from her today, and I would like to say Thanks, but I don't know what thread she is on?

Romy, is her real name, and she is from Marshfield, Wisconsin.

Been working on 2 Green Santas!

This one is a gift...

This Santa is one I am keeping.

I gave him a full head of hair because i wanted the shawl hood to be off his head sometimes.
LOL, Steve likes him with the hood, so it goes on and off daily!
