One Santa Blue, Two Santas Red.....

 When we lived at Fairchild AFB outside of Spokane, Washington, Mom decided to have a turquoise themed Christmas. We had just moved from Taiwan, where they had picked up furniture and drapes with teal and turquoise in them. So Mom melted down some crayons and made the prettiest turquoise candles that she topped with whipped paraffin "snow". I loved the colors we had that year, which is what inspired me to created this Santa. This Santa is made of Wallowa Lake driftwood and clay. You can find him in my etsy shop: MothersDreamRtworks

 Another driftwood Santa, sporting a wreath and cones. He is up for auction on ebay: Mothers Dream Artworks

A 5 inch gourd Santa, he is also on ebay: Mother's Dream Artworks

I hope you take a moment and stop by to see what else is available. Have a great day!

Philgrimm, Thanksgiving Pilgrim Pumpkin Man, My First Finished Polymer Clay Piece

Oh boy, a new art doll adventure and a fun one for sure. I have never really taken a good look at polymer clay, as I didn't like the baking process, but I was given some tips by some folks I met at Hallowbaloo, and found out it isn't as bad as I thought. So, I wanted to create something for Thanksgiving as I feel it's a much forgotten holiday, but one that is so important because its a time of celebrating harvest, family and our blessings from God. I hope to make some more, but am waiting on an oven here in Utah. This handsome fella is available at:    MothersDreamRtworks

PFATT Marketplace Offerings....

 Wallowa Lake bark driftwood is the inspiration for this piece. Hand sculpted features, hand painted and dusted with vintage mica "snow", this fella comes ready to hang.

Another driftwood Santa, all hand sculpted features and the same attention to details. These handsome fellas can be found at PFATT Marketplace. Thanks so much for stopping by!
