This precious Santa candy container lives with Nora now in Texas...he has a most beautiful face that took me days to paint....he brought tons of handmade extras and Nora absolutely loves him.I made the Angels and used German bisque antiques for them...all hand painted and batting clothes....all old baubles, handmade tiny Santa.....and many other items not shown..the list goes on forever...precious man I miss him so much. He has fabric from Ireland that I have more of I can use for some more little fellas.         This is my favorite mache Santa face that i've made. He is so pretty...a girls Santa for sure...I made him for a Valentine's day display.I had no trouble findng him a home, for Susan bought him.... Susan has over 7 of my Santa's now. I made his coat from vintage rabbit fur.I made the parcels and pink satchel, the gift tag, candy canes and snow lady .....he is dusted with snow....he is stunning....I made a drawstring for under his coat....so as to hide candy inside, then he stands on the table or in the old paper mache boot.Super!      Here are some I made with heads from Norma DeCamp       I made this fantastic Santa candy container ...he has a fabulous handmade mink coat, and carries all these lovely parcels I made too. Norma (My favorite Santa crafter ) made the head but I sure do miss him....he is absolutely gorgeous. I painted the candy container gold and black underneath. SEE MY FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS PAGE..

  THIS SANTA BELOW IS ONE OF NORMA'S HEADS. I made the candy container TOP half to go with the boot base Norma sent with the fabric and head and hands.He is lovely...see below a note from Norma...    friday 26th March 2010 "Hi Angie, Just got internet today and sending a quick reply.  Covered up with a mountain of stuff to do, but working through it.  I could write a book.  Have thought of you when I have had a chance to think at all.  Your teal Santa is outrageously good, I am so proud of you.  Let me know how he does.  Love you gal, take care. N" . This makes my heart swell. I just love her.You can contact Norma at mysteryofhiswill@hotmail.com
