Ceramic Santa Man

« on: December 15, 2012 10:25:53 AM »

I made this guy for rackycoo in the HOHOHO swap. I knew I wanted to make something in the ceramics studio and she collects Santa figurines. Ergo...

The base is a hollow ball, thrown on the wheel. I sculpted his arms, legs, and head and added them when the base had stiffened up a bit. He's painted with underglaze and porcelain slip and then some clear glaze to make him shiny.

My influences for this guy include Tim Burton's Santa from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and Neil Gaiman's movie, Coraline, especially in the button eyes.

I don't have an exact measure of his size, but he's around 5 inches tall.

Knowing that rackycoo loves and collects Santa, I squealed when I saw her post this!!!

He is so fat and loveable...I just can't believe how detailed his face and beard are...and that his curly boots did not break in shipping!

I hope to swap with you someday, cinnamon teal! Cheesy
