Time is of the essence, and I have much yet to accomplish before this special show. So, I will leave you with a few photos of just some of the characters that have invaded my workspace... I think the term "marching in" is appropriate for some of these vignettes! I have many originals yet to paint, but as December draws near, I will offer a few sneak peeks. You'll see that I captured just a few below, but I promise there are more to come! So stay tuned.....
Happy Holidays to you!

* An army of Santas balance on Christmas packages and raise cane!
* A cluster of prim snowmen, don woolen scarves in a variety of hues...
* A grouping of snowmen, strike a yoga-like pose and juggle snowballs too!
* More prim snowmen, wearing cozy scarves, await the arrival of winter...
* Novelty box snowmen raise their wiry arms and whistle a holiday tune....or so it seems!
* Here's a glimpse at my work bench while I unpacked box after box. In the foreground I am holding a my new Santa ornament. And yes, I ordered more vintage style bottle brush trees with baubles!
* I have also been making holiday hats and cones to adorn some of my original characters...
* And here's a peek at my paint palette with a pair of holiday ornament bells in the works...
* And before the paint is applied, my original sculptures look rather white and in need of a splash of color! This small set is at various stages of completion. I look forward to the day when I can say ALL are complete! (and not just what are pictured here....)
