New Nostalgic Folk Art Snowmen on Etsy

I always work on items that hit my moods. Sometimes i make holiday items during spring or summer. This is why i dont do special requests, well i really try not too. Things are never as good when they are forced.

anyway, i am working of a series of N O E L s, they are cheerful snowmen,usually singing,joyful maybe from having a bit too much glug or nog!  My fellas are inspired by the old ceramic figures of the 30's 40's and 50's by Lenox, Napco, Norcrest and the best of all Holt Howard.

 I guess you've figured out why these are called N O E L s

Full of joy and friendship enjoying every moment available to them because the season is about so much more.

will be adding more to my etsy site but if you dont see them there feel free to contact the places that sell my work (if you scroll down blog) to see if they have some.
