Primitive St. Nick in His Army Issued Wool!


I love the process... 


A Styrofoam ball, some masking tape, a wood dowel, linen fabric, 
rubber stamps, black jasper beads, and paper clay!



My little other-worldly "alien" begins to take on a personality of his own. 
(love that smirk!)


A paper clay beard was a late add-on, after base-coating.


A little color and some dry-brushing...


Keep the layering coming... tone it down.
And throw in his Army issued wool blanket hooded coat...


His little lantern was made using a “candle” or “smoke graining” technique, 
which was popular between 1790 and 1890.
It has both the look and feel of aged metal... 
using nothing more than a brown grocery bag and white glue! 




Little red boots in a pile of shimmering German glass glitter snow...
What can I say?


Rusty bells and a paper clay heart... wool mittens too!


He stands 17 inches high... from the top of his rusty star hood
to the checkerboard, square-head nail and wire base.

Thank you for stopping by... Daryle
