My Saint Nicolas that I made a couple years back. I purchase the porcelaine face and hands and make everything else myself. His hair and beard are angora mohair that I purhase from the goat farmer. This one measures 32 inches high but I make 2 other sizes as well. Hope you like him and thanks for looking,
Hugs
Michelle

Love Victorian Style Christmas things, your Santa is so beautiful, how long did it take to make it? Where did you buy the porclaine face and hands?
Thanks for inspiring,

Your welcome,
As if you need inspiration, lol with all you do, love the pics by the way,
It is hard to say exactly how long to make him because I always do a few at a time, but there is probably at least 5 hours of work, just the beard and hair take 1 hour as the mohair has to be cleaned first. I purchase my porcelaine parts at a Ottawa, here in canada.Hugs

Like your really classic colors (not that red-white coca-cola santa). Looks great :o)

Thanks Bettina,
I always prefer the classic colors and not the traditional red and green. My style is more victorian.

No wonder the beard is so awesome. Great job on Santa.

Thanks Linda,
The beard can be alot of work but so worth it,
I buy it directly from the goat farmers. They do a preliminary cleaning and I do the rest,
Glad you like him,
