"Holiday Cheers"

 
 
 

  

   This piece was a delight to create!!  A new and fun form I am now working with,  I loved creating this "free sitting" piece.  He can be posed in a great variety of positions and is weighted heavily for secure positioning on nearly any surface.

    This specific piece was created for a California Winery and sits atop an antique wine cask.

 
 

     

 

    At 34"  He is a big guy and quite heavy.  He was created using lush and wonderful fabrics, Antique look toys which hang from his leather belt, and he holds a vintage crystal glass in his hand.
 

   The scene here is not quite complete- for the 2005 holiday season an elf will be added.  He will be rushing to re-fill Santa's wine glass- after all, he deserves a little nip after his busy season!  Watch for photos of the Sommelier Elf to appear soon!

 

 

   
 
    A close up of his toys and teddy as well as a great view of the fabrics, trims and faux fur that was used.
