Pink Saturday~July21, 2012~ Christmas in July??
~~
It's time again for
"Pink Saturday!"
"Pink Saturday!"
~~
In the past I was deeply into crafting and my favorite things to make were Christmas figures-especially Santas.
Here are a couple examples of what I liked to do ~ and they just happen to be in Pink!
:)
This santa is all original papier mache'! By all original I mean no molds were used in the creating of these figures, so, even though I made a LOT of these, no 2 were ever the same.
I made them in different sizes too. This one is just over 12 inches tall. He is one of just a few that I dressed in pink!
:) Even in pink, this guy is no sissy! Look at that heavy bag of toys on his back!!
(I made this one especially for my own home-to use in my rose/pink living room.)
I signed and dated all that I made and I see this was #3 - in 1991.

These next ones are painted gourd santas.
The first one is a medium size hanging santa, which I use at a window with lights all around him. Most of my gourds I painted red but this one is a rose/pink!
The others here are made from small gourds-ornament size!
:)
Oh!
I also made some cone and papier mache' trees. I decorated this one with tiny pink roses. It's 12 inches tall!

Beautiful work Junie. Your creativity is amazing!
Thanks Mary/Momma,
Of course, this was a long time back.
Gonna give it a try again one of these days!!
Wow! Your papier mache Santa is amazing. Just gorgeous! The gourd Santa is pretty darn cute as is the rose tree. I found you at Pink Saturday.
Well, Junie you know I've always found you to be very creative! These prove the point; my goodness I can't imagine how much time it took to make these, then drawing and painting. Beautiful!

Thanks, Sally. The papier mache figures took a LOT of time, for sure...especially since I was figuring it out as I went along. These were my own idea and I had no model to go by at all and had never done anything like this before.
The gourds were easier and less time consuming- until I started embellishing some of them with papier mache beards and trim! lol!
Thanks all of you-for your comments.
Oh, You are SO Artsy!!!
I Love all these!

Thanks, Donna.
Wish I could get back into 'making stuff' again!
All of this was BC....Charles' term for "Before Computer!" lol
