Ho, ho, ho

One of the kids bought low budget Santa decoration, and on closer inspection was VERY unhappy with the painting quality. She asked me to fix the face, as she was annoyed that the painted on eyes weren't even in the right place. I started repainting the eyes and ... well, it escalated and the whole figure really needed a do-over.

 If you want to try your own, then it's only £1 from here (https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/craft-embellishments/santa-resin-embellishment/5052089301177.html).

With hindsight I would have primed it and repainted, rather than a series of items painted on top of the original, but all in all it was only two hours. I reglossed the boots and belt, as I was informed that Santa always keeps his shoes shiny.


Merry Christmas!
