Merry 'go round' Christmas:
Karen Vander Logt

This one-of-a-kind Santa is approximately 26" tall. Face and hands are hand-sculpted using Prosculpt polymer clay. His eyes are green fade-resistant glass, his beard is off-white mohair. Santa is wearing a long cream-colored floral brocade coat with a matching hat (very long) with tassel. All is trimmed in white faux fur. His coat is also trimmed in antique-gold color buttons. Beneath the coat he wears an ivory fleece shirt, pants and boots. Under one arm is his little lamb, who is wearing a jingle bell around his neck. Also included is a white and golden scoll with the poem, "Footprints".

This Santa sits on a large carousel pony (off-white, accented in gold). The carousel horse is one-of-a-kind, and was handmade, painted and decorated by Marilyn Neubert (Karen's sister). Thie beautiful horse is trimmed with clay roses and crackled to give it an antique look.

Purchased in 2002.
