Around these parts, you put that in your yard, and you'll have an arrow collection, and it will be hanging head-down...

:)

Looking good!

I'm not really a veteran - this will be my first year computerized. I've always had lights, usually with color organs. But I do know that looks great!

The scultped Santa is neat but his glasses are too modern, I think. Find him some John Lennons or Radar O'Reilys and he'll look like the image I always had in my head.

Thanks I use non-drying oil base clay, then i make a mold of the head.. this head were sculpted on a barbie head armature that kids play with to style the hair on barbie. sell the heads for DIYC so you may make your own elves. see my christmas link below

i have been sculpting for years and i use van arkin clay bought at micheal's craft store or hobby lobby. This clay is great for holding detail work.it never dries tho so you have to make a mold of the head and recast the head with some type of silicone or rubber. since i sell heads and hands i use silicone that is colored it never breaks down.like rubber will crack and dry out but silicone holds its shape

Well I took the Santa i made last year and cut him off at the knees...lol
then added 90% 2inch pvc pipe connectors to make knees so he will sit on the deer.
here is comet
