Default 4 New Santas in Gallery

Hi Everyone,

I just posted 4 new Santas in the gallery section (for some reason, the pictures of the backs of the Santas appear first for each).

All of these Santas came from the same blanks that Goody sent me. My goal was to try and make them have their own identity, despite being the same blank.

I think I had most fun with the Santa in the quilt and got the idea from the one and only, Teri Embrey.

Thanks for looking!
Jillsy

Jillsy, Gosh! Those are neat. Looks like you've been very busy, with both knife and paint brushes. Your Santas are really fun. I especially like the one with the quilt wrapped around him. Well done. Tom H

Jillsy, that's a mighty fine group of Santa's you just finished! I think you did wonderful on bringing out a different character in each one of them. My favorite is the one with the quilt. That paint job just blows my mind! You must have a super steady hand!!!! Very nice work! ~ Joy

Thumbs up Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery

Jillsy .... Your Santas are wonderful ... each one with their own distinct look and your painting is beautiful .. especially how you did the Santa with the quilt ... That one is a definate special if I ever saw one ...

It looks like you took the time to create each little detail just right ..

All of them a 10.0 for sure ...

Beautiful job .. excellent in both carving and painting ..

Thanks for sharing

Aw, thank you! You guys are too much!

Banjo, my hands are NOT steady in any form of the word! Sometimes I gotta hold the one with the paintbrush with both hands to try and keep them steady! My caffeine habit doesn't help I'm sure!!
