Christmas Wishes

Ooooh, I just love the way this sweet little Christmas Chick make-do turned out. She is a bit more shabby chic than Prim, but I love her all the same. I can see her standing proudly next to a white feather tree on a sideboard in some lucky duck's Christmas decorations! :

This sweet gal measures in at 20", 25" to the top of her sweet party hat adorned with tinsel balls! She's made of natural muslin that has been painted. Then I used a clay over cloth technique and sculpted her 3-d head and beak and chestplate. She is mounted on a vintage wooden candlestick base that is painted a wonderfully antiqued robin's egg blue to match her ruffles and tinsel trim in her dress!

Speaking of her dress…I just love this warm faded fabric I found…it coordinates so well with all the robin's egg blue trim and has a nice texture to it. I stitched big full gathered sleeves and a slip gathered skirt and then trimmed it in a nicely gathered robin's egg blue ruffle before handstitching the blue tinsel in place.

This sweet Christmas chick is holding an aged bottle brush tree that I have painted and adorned with teal/aqua german glitter glass. In her other hand is an old star shaped cookie cutter that I have also trimmed in the same glitter glass!

This sweet Christmas Chick is a Prim and Proper Folks original design and will come to you signed and dated. As with all my creations, she was made in my smoke-free studio and will ship via FedEX 2 day delivery in my special Prim and Proper Folks packaging! Please let me know if you have any questions…I'm only an email away! Best wishes…Susan

Old Fashioned Santa

Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by to shop all the wonderful offerings here on The Humble Arts! I am so tickled to offer one of my first Santa's of the 2008 Season…an Old Fashioned Santa!

Santa measures 28"" tall from the top of his Santa hat to the bottom of his black boots! He's made from natural muslin and has traditional stitched joints. He's easily posed to hold his old fashioned bottle brush tree and sits very nicely on his own.



I just love Santa's happy face.and big smile! I've needle sculpted his eyes and nose to give them lots of definition and he has the most wonderful big blue sparklin' Santa eyes! His lips and teeth are embroidered. Santa has the most wonderful full beard, mustache and hair made from natural white sheep's wool and securely needle felted in place.

Santa is dressed in an old fashioned red jacket that I have trimmed with six antique black shoe buttons and trimmed in a wonderful wool plaid at the cuffs. His pants are made from the same black, red and cream plaid wool with a drawstring waist. All the edges on Santa's outfit have been hemmed for a nice finished look and I've used only the finest quality fabrics.

Santa's holding a vintage style bottle brush tree. I've stitched a nice red burlap sack with a wool felt star for the base of the tree and added a single rusty jingle bell to the top!

This Old Fashioned Santa is a Prim and Proper Folks original design and will come to you signed and dated.
