| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery Jillsy,
These are very nice Santas. I used to be a quilter before carving and the one with the quilt is my favorite. Nice job. |

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery Beautiful work! I think the quilt Santa is very unique. I also like the way his head is tucked back into the hood and tilted down a smidge. It makes the eyes very believeable. I also adore the snowflakes you paint....great work. |

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery Love the Santa's you have done an excellent job. The one thing about Goodys Santa blanks is that you can modify them how ever you want. Thanks for sharing

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery Thank you, thank you!
Joy, I originally wanted to use a mini stencil to paint the snowflakes, but couldn't wrap it around the Santa. So instead, I looked at different ones for ideas and came up with those. It was much easier to paint once I had a visual. There's inspiration everywhere!! |

| | Re: 4 New Santas in Gallery Thanks again all! My head isn't going to make it through the door now!
The quilt Santa was alot of fun to do and I hope to do more. It wouldn't be monotonous either because I can change the colors to be a completely different quilt. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
