THIS BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED SANTA HOLDING A SWEET LITTLE BICHON IS ONE OF A KIND. THEY ARE MADE BY ARTIST, ANN HEDBURG. ALL OF HER SANTAS ARE MADE FROM A PART OF THEE CYPRESS TREE CALLED "CYPRESS KNEES". THEY ARE HARVESTED FROM THE SWAMPS IN THE BAYOUS. HER DETAILING IS TRUELY AMAZING. YOU CAN ACTUALLY COUNT THE HAIRS IN SANTA'S BEARD & I LOVE THE BUSHY EYEBROWS! SHE HAND PAINTS HER SANTAS WITH SEVERAL COATS TO GET HER DESIRED EFFECT, THEN CLEAR COATS TO LAST. SHE USED 8 COATS OF VARIOUS COLORS TO GET THE FAUX FUR ON HIS ROBE! ANYONE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO HAVE THIS EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF WORK.
