Update...8/8/2023... I could not find a Santa face in a suitable size, so I made my own...the one on the left is the master I molded with Sculpey oven baked clay...the one on the right is the painted casting made with Durhams Water Putty and coated with two coats of clear finger nail polish...not shown is the modeling clay push mold made from the master...here are some helpful links to the process and products used... https://www.sculpey.com/products/original-sculpey https://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1438&hilit=putzish&start=10 https://durhamswaterputty.com/casting/ Stay tuned for more updates...

This is amazingly beautiful and well constructed. Once gain, you have inspired me! The Sculpey face is perfect. Thanks for all the detailed images.
