My husband, Rick Malay, December, 1952

All of us hold in our hearts a unique image of Santa as we believe him to be. Always bearing gifts and good wishes, he represents the joy and warmth of Christmas.

My Santas are created in the "Old World" tradition, using only the highest quality materials. Some are paperclay, others clay or cloth. Their robes and gowns are made of a variety of new and vintage wool, tapestry, fur and silk. 100% mohair is used for all of the hair and beards. Antique and reproduction accessories add that special detail that makes them unique. Some tote leather or tapestry bags filled with toys, while other have a "Woodland" look.

***At this time, I am not taking any more custom orders, as I am totally booked. I do list new items on my website weekly, so please check back often, or contact me to be added to my email notification list:

I just love this Santa!
His look is totally unique - kind of has a primitive, French country or vintage style! He's small in size, but loaded with detail.

His robe is a light pink with off-white accents. I've added tinsel on the edge of the hood.

He carries a basket on his back and a bag over his shoulder that are filled with realistic looking berries.

Stands on a snow covered base, and generously sprinkled with German glass glitter and mica. I used an antique chocolate mold for the base and sculpted around this.

Stands 5" tall
