1988 Santa

The one that started it all. This is the very first Santa in the ornament collection. At the time I designed this piece I had no idea the Santa Series would be so popular. As a matter of fact it is no longer available as an original casting. All remaining Limited Edition Sets have reissues to make up the full set. They are marked as such to protect those of you who have been collecting since the beginning.

1989 Santa

I remember the night I designed this one. I was sitting at the kitchen table trying to come up with an idea. On the refrigerator was a small grape vine wreath with something in the middle and a magnet on the back. I took the magnet off and replaced what ever it was that was in the middle with the new Santa for 1989. This one is only available in the Limited Edition Set.

1990 Santa

This Santa came to be with the intentions of adding a shape other than round to the collection. Just a small piece of driftwood creates the base for this little guy. I've always liked the right eyed wink on his face. This Santa is only available in the Limited Edition Set and is of the original castings.

1991 Santa

This is the only Santa I have made so far that is more than just the face. Standing on a little log stump.... this little fellow has always been a favorite of mine and collectors. I actually made two different masters with this one. The only difference is the stump. One of them was taller and not as big around, the other was flatter and bigger in diameter. He is only available in the Limited Edition Set as an original casting.

1992 Santa

Some folks have said this one looks as if a beaver chewed it out of a log. I made a bunch of these little guys and right now I'm offering him as a chain pull for your ceiling fan or light. I'm not sure why I ended up with so many of them, but then I don't know why I do a lot of the things I do. He is also an original casting in the Limited Edition set.
