February! I'm not finished with January yet. I'm glad to see this cold Iowa winter month pass so quickly, but whew, it slid by fast. I can't flip my calendar til I get a couple things crossed off my January list.
Yesterday was the launch of a new primitive shop that I joined. Lemon Poppy Seeds I'm excited to be a part of such a wonderful group of talented, primitive artists. You must stop in for a tour. You will find some very familiar names associated with the extreme primitive artist community.
I made this Primitive little Santa from muslin that I've painted and stained to a grungy finish. His beard, belt, buckle and cuffs are needle felted into place using dyed wool. His face is painted and sanded for an olde, worn look.
Santa is 15 inches tall. His legs and arms have been hand stitched to his body. He's firmly stuffed and sits firmly on his own. I wired a few wild grape vine sticks to his hand and attached moss and a little ginger bread man. I used cloves for his eyes and buttons.
I used a pattern designed by Victoria of Kentucky Primitives.
