| | 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!

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery 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 |

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery 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 |

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery 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!!
