Angry Little Santa

He's either angry or in deep thought, but he still looks good.

awwwww..... he is adorable. He isn't angry, he is just sizing up the "naughty" list.. Somebody's gotta do it. He is lovely, very well done and lots of expression.

Thank you so much everyone for your comments! It was definitely interesting to see the different ideas that people had about what was on his mind. I guess that is part of the fun of carving, you never know what you are going to end up with! Thanks again for taking a look!

Hi Blake,
Nice carving but I have to admit he does look a little miffed. Maybe it's from having to hold that big belly up ;O).

Nice carving, Blake! I'd say frustrated, also - maybe from reading the Christmas "demand" lists from the "me" generation...

Great detail in the face. I like the minimalist approach to the beard - wish I could make it look like that...

The corners of his mouth do seem to turn down....so either someone ate his Christmas cookies or Mrs. Claus is in a snit again. Nice job.

Thanks again everyone for the comments! Christmas is just around the corner! I hope Santa cheers up soon, he's got a lot of work to do!

Well....I don't know if it's the wine talking, but I think he's really funny! You never see Santas with such intense expressions. In other words, I LOVE him! And you have so much detail for such a little guy. Can you tell us how thick he is?

Well, if it is the wine talking, keep on drinking it up! I'm glad you like him! That means a lot coming from you! I'm a big fan of your santas also! You're so creative with them! He's actually about 2" x 2" and 3 1/2 " tall. He's a little more boxy then I would have liked, but I think that is okay since he has such a big head. He's pretty intense, or maybe confused now that summer is running into summer months. It's still 85 degrees here in Tennessee at the end of October.....shew, bring on fall at least!

Thanks again for taking a look!
