More Santas

Thanks so much for all your sweet comments on the post about the Santas I painted. It was fun to do them.


I painted for 12 years and did craft shows from here to Washington DC to help my girls through college and pay for their weddings. I look back and think-- WHEW! I painted my little fingers off from morning till night to be ready for the next weekend show. I did at least one show a month and sometimes more. You had to have a lot of stock to carry you through two or three day shows.

Here are a few more of the Santas I painted.

This one is tall and made on a plain wood board that is about 1 " thick. The design in the Santa coat is rolled on with a special mallet with paint on it. He has a button nose made of putty.

This one is a bit shorter but done with the same technique.

This little guy opens up and has a message inside.

This one is on a half moon piece of wood that allows him to rock back and forth.

This Santa is peeking out of JOY to say Ho Ho Ho to you!

The next Santas are ones I've bought through the years and bring out every Christmas.

This one greets the visitors when they come through the front door at the top of stairs on the landing.

A fiber optic Santa sits on the staircase with some presents.

I bring out an angel that I painted and hang her in the dining room every year.

I glued fabric on the wood cut out, for her dress.
Then I painted the gold trim, hem design, shoes, and of course, her face, hair, wings and horn are painted.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today. I appreciate each of you taking time out of your busy schedule.

Be safe with your last minute shopping and things on your to do list! Till next time!
