This Victorian theme vignette was  a commissioned piece.

 Photo shown below was used to try to capture some resemblance of little girl in portrait.  Santa is dressed in a  3/4 long caped coat in black/brown tweed wool, and black wool pants.

He is tipping his hat to greet the little girl.  His black top hat was  hand-made with black wool and has a  hand-stitched grosgrain ribbon around brim.  He also wears a whiteshirt with dark red ascot at neck.   Santa is seated on a wood & cast iron  park bench  under a lighted Victorian lamppost.  The little girl is wearing a dark red velour dress trimmed in antique gold/red trim, also matching hooded cape trimmed in dark brown mink, with mink fur muff and  handmade black leather boots.

 Her accessories include a tiny book called  "Little Dorritt" from the Charles Dickens series, with real print inside,  a pair of ice skates, and a tiny collectible porcelain doll from England.  Santa is seated with  his two puppies, a Jack Russell terrier and Black Scottie.

Thank you Heather !   I  really enjoyed making your special piece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 "Jolly Olde Saint"   Sold

 

 

 

This One of a kind Santa was a commissioned piece. He is a large 45" Santa.  This Santa has a very kind expression with clear blue eyes (glass). He is wearing a beautiful long coat in beige (very soft) raised chenille. The coat has a long cape and is trimmed with beige/brown tipped real Fox fur with matching fur hat.  His coat has a pretty braid loop trim at the bottom and also at the end of his sleeves. His under-dress is a silk polyester fabric in gold beige. The pants under his under dress is faux suede with suede boots in beige and trimmed with beige mink. He will be holding a walnut rosary, (not the black one in photo) so I made a copper color sash at his waist to compliment the walnut rosary.
