Just a peek

    

Hello Bunny!

Hello !

Are you still out there? 

I have decided to do away with my web page for selling my art because I can't keep it up and running.  Just too much work and no time to create.  

I will be moving my items to be sold, onto my Facebook page

                                          Facebook Page

I would love for you to share that page to help me out. 

 I will be doing this in the next few weeks. I was working on a few  Bunny Candy containers but don't know if I can get them finished in time for Easter.

Watch here on the blog and my facebook page.

I can see you ! 

Sorry I have been away so long !

Sorry I have been away for so long.  I am back now. 

I have been working on Santa's and they are coming out beautiful.

Scroll down to look at the pictures and tomorrow or Saturday I will be back to describe what went into this Santa !!

This big fella is going to Ohio for Christmas ! That will be his forever home.  He is 23 inches tall and haas all kinds of goodies on him.  Almost too many to list. 

A lot of you may know the Santa artist, Norma DeCamp.  She is a friend of mine and she was on one of the islands that got hit by the hurricane.   I finally heard from her that she is all right.  Look her name up.  A lot of people have said that my Santa's look like her's.  What a compliment this is.  I could never do what she does.  

Santa's pipe stuck in his hat decorations. 

No Snow, No Inspiration

I am so tired of waiting for snow in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. We are in the most furthest peak and still no snow.  Ohio gets it and Pennsylvania gets it, but us?  No!  I live in the Appalachian hills and valleys. Where is my snow and where is my inspiration? 

I look outside at the fresh fallen snow, and ideas just pop into my little head. I have several orders for next year but I am going to get them done and out before then.  I have several La Bafana's orders also.  I will let you see them before I send them put. 

I have sculpted several new items for Christmas 2017. I have one half imbedded in plaster.  Oh My !  This is the one imbedded in plaster.  Oh Gees, I hope he comes out.  

 This face  (above and below) is of a Belsnickle Santa.  They were considered Santa's helpers.  The Belsnickles often carried switches to beat, yes, beat the bad children. Some children were even carried away by the Belsnickle.   

I have gathered some ideas by looking at these vintage cloths.  They kept me happy over Christmas.  Kept my followers happy also.  Here is just a few. 

I love this hat.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas &  Happy New Year. 

Victorian Children in their best 

Santa comes down the chimney !

          

  Santa comes down the chimney

As a child, did you really believe that Santa came down the chimney? Most homes had fire or coal furnaces, but not all had a fireplace. So how did Santa get into the house.

Magic !

This is what the story of Santa is all about. Magic, in the mind of a child and some adults, who never quite got their fill of Christmas. 

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Hearts are opened to more generous giving and loving. I wish Christmas could last all year. 

Since I feel that I am fully recovered from my lung cancer, I have so many good ideas for you. 

 

  I had a Smokers Cancer.  I never  smoked ! 

 

In High School, I worked in a Bingo Parlor. It was a cloud of smoke inside there.  I worked every Monday for years.Second hand smoke is real. 

Merry Christmas  ! 

Here comes Santa Clause, Here comes Santa Clause.
