I took a break from house building, too hot and muggy up here in Vermont.

I spied this little guy in an Ebay auction awhile back.
I had a bunch of the right material from the other figures I'd made.
And I had onbe of Peter's faces.
Plus I live in Vermont and we have alot of ski areas.

I'm not a fan of the vintage skin color of pink, so I painted him more of a natural skin tone.

So here he is.
He's meant to hang from a tree, hence the gold string loop.

That is a really cool project Steve. Now, for the snow to come.

Great santa

steve...

another excellent reproduction...just think...in 2069 it will be a cherished antique...and some collector will be searching for it's history and wondering about the maker...i hope you are signing and dating all your work in some way...

So cute.. what are the ends of the ski pole? And is that staples holding his feet the skis?

Good eye. The ski bindings are staples.

And the snow basket on the end of the ski poles are circles punched with a 1/4" paper punch. the paper was shiny gold scrapbooking paper.

Fun! And clever.
