Star of the Night:
Karen Vander Logt

This gentle Russian-style 38" Santa is sitting in a black wrought-iron Sleigh. He holds a little doll on his lap. This one-of-a-kind Santa's face and hands are hand sculpted using prosculpt polymer clay. He has warm gray glass eyes. Santa's hair & beard are white mohair. Santa is wearing a brick-red heavy tapestry caped-style coat, trimmed with antique-style gold buttons a dark brown faux fur, and a lighter brown rabbit fur (with dark brown tips) on sleeves ends, with a matching fur hat.

He wears a soft brick-red paisley print shirt under his coat. His fur-rimmed pants are a dark brown velveteen. The large toy bag next to his sleigh is a dark sage-green & dark red tapestry, trimmed with a sage-green & dark red rope & large tassel. Toys inside his bag include an iron train engine, a wooden book, and a old, worn-looking Teddy Bear.
