OldWorldSantas

                         By Sue Wienczkowski




I'm so glad you stopped by to visit my Santas.  My Old World Santa designs reflect the elegance and charm of an early European era.  Please step into the Santa Gallery for a trip back in time and experience the Spirit of Christmas that each of my Santas symbolize.

 Each face is individually sculpted of polymer clay, no two expressions are alike.


 I use hand blown glass eyes imported from Germany, which helps to create that magical twinkle in my Santa's eye. 

 The beards and hair are created using washed, natural wool from Lincoln Longwool sheep to achieve his authentic appearance. 

 Some Santas have a lovely piece of antique jewelry especially selected to complete his costume.  I love searching antique stores to find pieces that have "just the right look." 


I make two sizes of Santas -- 19" and 28" tall, and each one takes between 12 to 25 hours to complete, depending on the size.   I take great care creating my Santas and and every one is special to me.  Each is a work of art that I hope you and your family will cherish for many years.
