PRIMITIVE OLDE WORLD SANTA & REINDEER

Welcome Prim Friends, and thank you for stopping by to view my new Christmas Offerings. Here we have an Olde Primitive Woodland Santa and his Reindeer for the Holidays. This olde guy is really dressed up for the big day! These two are the perfect display for your Christmas decor as a centerpiece, on a halltree, bureau or standing on a shelf! Santa measures 17" tall and 8" wide and his Reindeer measures 12" tall and 7" wide.

I created these pieces in the primitive fashion to give them that time-worn look. Santa's body is sewn from muslin, stuffed tightly with wired poseable arms and hands, and weighted at the bottom, then aged with a coffee-vanilla mixture and baked. For his facial features, I have given him a pinch-stitched nose and I have painted his mouth barn red and painted and drawn with artist pencils his smiling eyes in brown umber, baby blue, and black pupils, blushed his cheeks, and sealed with a finishing spray.

Santa's Night Cap and Coat are sewn from soft creamy flannel and trimmed with strips of curly furry fleece. These have been stained and baked with my coffee-vanilla-cinnamon solution to age them for the grubby look. Rusty bells are used as buttons down the front trim and a larger rusty bell hangs from the tip of his night cap. Purebred Sylvia Sheeps Wool is needle felted in place for his fluffy beard and moustache.His gloves have been paint-washed in black, baked, and sanded. He holds an old fashioned sisal bottle brush Christmas tree that I have rubbed with faux snow and sprinkled with fine Glass Glitter. In his other hand he holds the reins to his favorite Reindeer made from natural linen jute thread.
The Reindeer's body is sewn from muslin, stuffed tightly,stained with the coffee-vanilla-cinnamon mixture, baked and dry brushed along his belly and nose with antique white paint. Pieces of the crusty grubby coating are brushed off to resemble his markings. Tiny black beads are sewn on for his eyes. His legs are cut from tree branches. His bridle around his chest is cut from hunter green plush felt with tiny rusty bells added. His reins that are tied around his head and looped for Santa to hold. Dark brown Ram's wool is needle felted in place for his tail. Wooden Grapevine twigs are used for his antlers.

I have given them a Prim Tag that has been stained in the coffee-vanilla-cinnamon mixture and topped with a nostalgic greeting card image showing Santa dressed in a cream coat and hat bordered with golden Glass Glitter that says... "A Merry Christmas". This piece has been lovingly hand-made by me from a pattern created by Hidden In The Attic.

PRIMITIVE VINTAGE LINENS CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Welcome Prim Friends and thank you for stopping by to visit my New Christmas Offerings. This is my Primitive-style Vintage Keepsake Embroidered Linen Christmas Angel. She is completely designed and handmade by me with very special attention to detail and design. She measures 20" long and 10" wide.For that extra special touch, I have used a vintage Christmas tea towel for her gown. This one-of-a kind embroidered design features a soft white linen with an very detailed Santa and his Sleigh in traditional Christmas colors. The design features Santa riding in his sleigh with his backpack of toys. I have carefully pieced the tea towel to form a full length gathered gown with a long puffed sleeve bodice. The sleeves and neck are gathered with red pearl cording. Three red lucite buttons embellish the center front of the bodice. I have added extra wide, white, scalloped vintage lace to the bottom top-stitched with a tiny vintage red sateen picot loop edging. This adds to the vintage style so loved long ago.Her body is sewn from tea-dyed muslin and her cheeks are blushed. Her primitive eyes are black dip-dot paint, and the sparkle on her cheeks is antique white paint. I have drawn her eyelashes and brows with a fine tipped black pigma pen. Her hair features the finest loopy mohair white yarn gathered into loops and tied in the center. Her halo is made of twisted gold ming wire for a dainty look. Her stiffened quilted wings feature the remnant of an antique, hand-stitched cutter quilt in red and hunter green alternating with red and green plaids chosen to match the design on her dress. She hangs on the wall by way of a loop at the back of her head and she is sittable or can be used as a tuck. She could also be used as a tree topper.I have given her a prim tag that I have aged in a coffee-cinnamon-vanilla solution and baked in the oven. I have carefully burnt the edges with a flame and used a brown pigma ink to stamp the words "Peace on Earth" along with a spray of holly draped over a bell.She will be perfect for your display of collectible angels, or displayed amongst your Christmas decor in your Primitive, Shabby Cottage, Victorian or Country home. She would also be proud to be placed as a Guardian Angel in your baby's nursery or little child's room.
