Very nice Santa. I love him. I really like the fur on the coat - it looks sooo real. I am so glad you posted a pic. PIcs are such an inspiration to us all. Thanks for posting him. Outstanding job!

| | Re: Father Christmas with Swans Thanks for all the great compliments everyone!! In answer to the questions, yes, he's already at the Gallery. No, there won't be a base, I found out early that the collectors don't like bases because they like to group their collections, makes sense!
Bill, I hope there isn't snow yet, we had a pretty good frost last night though, does that count?!
Big brother....you're in the will.....Mel, since you're my greatest fan you'll be next in line!  Deborah |
