Well done! Love the colors and the detail in the beard.

Those figures are too cute, Andrew. Is that flocking on the elf or cloth ? I'm guessing Santa's robe is cloth.

[Andrew Hughes]

Thanks guys,the little elf is woolie material from a craft store Micheals,the Santa is bass wood and paint form the same store.

Dignified ,yet whimsical. Super uniform. I don't think I would have gotten much of that beard done without deciding "perhaps cotton balls would be faster" . Real nice.

Very cool. I wish I could carve. I've tried it but I seem to do better building little scale model wooden vehicles. Your work is outstanding!

Nice job Andrew! I really like both the detail/execution and the style. Very creative and quite well done.
Did you use a pattern or just work f/ picture etc?

I look forward to seeing more of your work.
All the best, Mike
