Well it looks like I've been procrastinating on my blog again. But I really haven't, I've been trying to catch up on some of my little jobs I've been putting off till the last minute...I think I work better under pressure...lol...I had a special gift to do for a young man & his family, that was in Service with my Chuckie boy. He lives in upstate New York and is still in the Army, he will be spending a week at Fort Shelby in South Mississippi starting this coming Sunday. I can't wait to see him. He is such a wonderful young man and he and Chuck have remained friends since they met at Fort Benning, GA during Basic Training in 1984.
I have painted he and his wife one of my Cyprus Knee Santas.
I didn't think to take any pictures when I first started but here are a few I made when I was about half way through, still had to add hair and hat details...
And here is the finished produced, I hope they will like it...Santa for Christmas and a Cyprus knee as a momento from the South.
I always let the knee decide how these will turn out. You can't tell to good but where the top of the hat hangs down by his face, there is a ridge that just made the perfect hat and pompom...
