Things got a little out of hand before/during the holidays. I did manage to get a lot of Christmas presents made like the cloth/clay St. Nicks below. The bodies are painted cloth while the faces are clay.
Why blue? I don't know, he just wanted that color so I obliged.
There was quite a production line in my studio. I hung them by their feet to dry when I painted them making them appear to be doing some strange upside-down ballet. But the ballet is over and they have taken up new residences across the country. I enjoyed them quite alot. Each face has a unique expression and a life of it's own, I will miss the tinkling of the bells on their shoes and hats.
