Santa Tree Topper

This Santa was created to try a new technique. The face is actually a picture of my husband that I alter so it was just the basic line then I added color to the eyes and other features.
The base was created from a photograph that I change into a applique pattern. The original picture was really cute.
He was sold at the WCS 2010. The lady who bought it did not like the base so it ended up being cover in plain green.
