This is my new Santa for 2009. I try to make a new one every year. Try being the operative word. I started with ceramics when I first got into a hobby. I loved painting santas during the month of december. Now, it seems an entire year is needed to plan for this tradition. All the ceramics stores I knew of have closed. At the end of last year, I found a store that had recently opened approximately an hour away from us. Today my husband along with my kids drove me out to it. I picked up this Santa. It's hard to see, but he has a whale in one hand, a pig on his head, and a bear, a rabbit, a cow and a cat hanging out of his bag. A frog clinging to his coat and a lion lying on his boots! I love santas with animals. I'm so excited about this one. I'll put him on my shelf so I can see him each day and hopefully have him finished well in advance of Christmas. One can only hope! I'll post a pic when I'm all done painting him.
