Ideas for Santa Carvers

Many Santa carvers most likely have sources for references (books, pictures, magazines, etc.) Lately, I've been looking at vintage post cards for ideas and inspiration, even for different colors to paint my Santas. You can go different websites who sell these cards, although for hundreds of dollars each, you may not to buy them, they're great to look at! One in particular, is called, cardcow.com. They've got all sorts of vintage postcards to look at.

decoycarve posted a BUNCH of santa pictures last year in the Reference Forum. Most were post card pictures.

Here's a link:

Santas for reference.

Mitchell,

Thanks so much for that link! I remember Goody doing this, but couldn't find it so I thought it had been taken down for some reason.
