Another flavor for Santa....


this is a custom stocking for a Saints fan , that was requested in Mardi Gras colors....no problem...the size is 18" tall and the top cuff is 8" wide on 13st ,these were my only instructions
I love it...I can just have pure fun . Since this was a small stocking i thought I would use the entire shape as part of the design...rather than the lone stiff Santa just standing around with not much happening with the toe..the toe is a very neglected part of the stocking design...oh yes...you can fill it with toys and presents or precious little bunnies..but it always seems an after thought...
best used as precious negative space .......usually an odd shape unless it is part of a patch work or other overall pattern design....I love having a customer trust you enough to go with it...so much of custom is so controlled and limited by the customer...and rightly so..they are paying and should get what they want...but oh my .... I does like having some freedom...this was shipped today , so we will see if the customer is pleased...now that is a whole other story...lol......rarely do i make people cry...but never say never....I will let you know...
I have news...just to wet your appetite...Squiggee is moving west...that's right...East coaster goes West..yikes...will keep you posted...so look out West, you are about to get an injection of weird !

Nice Santa - but just wondering, what is "Mata Gras." and why is it green? I do envy you the move to Colorado - I spent summers there as a child and absolutely loved it. It's very beautiful.
