Santa Baby

Hurry Down the Chimney Tonight I love primitive folk art.  Vintage or  recently crafted, I find the rudimentary elements of a piece extremely charming.      These four Jolly fellas were created by me about 10 years ago.    One day when I was antique shopping I came across four vintage Santa chocolate molds.  I decided to buy the molds and use them to create my Santa's.  The molds are a perfect for Paper Mache' Clay.     The clay takes about one week to dry.  After the drying period they are painted, antiqued and sprayed with matte varnished to seal the pieces.  I then brushed white glue in specific areas and added the Icy Flake Diamond Dust. Have you ever created any special holiday decorations?  If so, what have you crafted?  I would love to read all about it.
