Default Hello again - This years Santa Line-up

Hi All,

I had to stop carving for a couple of months (8!) but managed to start again a few weeks ago. I made some little Santas based on what I could remember from last year, then started to vary the poses a little. The Santas are trying to look businesslike for their annual photoshoot, but one of them has just (ahem) let rip. Can you guess which one? Some of them are taking it more seriously than others. Makes the kids laugh anyway.

The tallest is about 3", the smallest about 1 1/2", made of basswood.

Looking at the backs of them is almost as fun as seeing their fronts. Good job on making them all different.

I really like the different poses and the looks in their eyes. They look suspicious of each other.

Thanks everyone...I've got a few projects in mind for the future and these Santas have been a good way to get back into things.
