I’ve created this beautiful olde timey Santa with a paperclay face I've molded from a vintage mold. He has handpainted features. He’s dressed in wool trousers, jacket and hat. His scarf is wool and his tummy is wrapped with twine. He carries a chenille candy cane and a walking stick. He's sitting on my hand done prim reindeer. I've stitched the reindeer from muslin, stuffed firmly, painted and aged for an olde timey appearance. It has beady eyes, rusty bell nose, stitched mouth, wool collar, and large brass bell. Legs are stitched firmly in place and Matt created the perfect chunky barnwood base for it. He’s just about 13 inches tall and 10 inches long. He will come signed and dated. Created with many loving stitches in my smoke free home, a Sassafras Hill original. *tis spoken for, many thanks*

I've stitched these little stockings from beautiful red mohair, lined with matching homespun. To the front I've added a sweet little sculpted paperclay santa face, aged deeply with churro wool beard and woolen hat trimmed with a rusty jingle bell. It's just about 8 inches long, not including the vintage brass hanging ring. It will come signed and dated. There are six available.
