Christmas in Berea!

November 30, 2019 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

Earlier in the year, I was honored to have been asked to create a Christmas collection for the Kentucky Artisan Center in Berea. My Christmas 2019 collection now festoons the three main trees in the lobby of the gallery. It was a whopper of an order — 283 pieces in all. You can find various price points and styles – everything from glittery cloth angel wings, quilted ornaments, stuffed ornaments to cloth and clay dolls and even a large woodland Santa.

The trees are available for shopping now! I will be demonstrating my doll making techniques at the Kentucky Artisan Center in Berea on Dec. 14th from 10:30 – 3:30 pm. If you’re traveling through the area, the artisan center is easily located right off the interstate. It’s a wonderful collection of Kentucky made art and craft products.

Santa’s Little Helper

December 9, 2015 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

This sweet gent is Father Christmas. This three piece doll set is #249.

I love old world Santas. And the idea of Santa traveling through the forest on horseback, delivering special gifts to sweet children who dream of him in their sleep.That thought inspired this charming fellow who has a very special helper.

Santa is 16″ tall, while his horse is 6″ tall and 9.5″ from nose to tail.

Father Christmas is now available in my Etsy shop. You can also read more about his construction there! Thanks for visiting!

Woodland Santa and his sweet Companions

October 13, 2015 By Rebecca Leave a Comment

This is my newest holiday Santa and I have to tell you I am smitten with him! I love the sweet company he keeps but my favorite thing about him is his color palette. Some special details about this guy: he’s big! Santa measures 19.5″ tall. His deer measure 10.5 inches tall (excluding antlers) and are 9.5 inches wide from nose to tail. I’ve used real deer antler buttons on his under robe! These were hand-crafted from a fellow artist her in Kentucky. I met him at the Minnie Adkins Day show I did back in July and as soon as I saw these buttons I knew I would use them on a Santa. This felt like the right Santa. It adds to the charm of this woodland fellow! Santa’s sweet annie garland that he holds in his hands also contains two small bird feathers. I think these add such a nice touch to the woodland theme. But it’s also a small detail that you might not even notice right away. The wool used for Santa’s beard and hair is my favorite type of wool! I think it’s just so soft and appealing. It adds such a nice, old world touch to this charming fellow.

Please enjoy the many photos I took of Woodland Santa #248!
