Another Santa Pastry Chef...

[Claude]

Here's another Santa pastry chef, carved for a good customer. He stands 8 inches tall, and is carved from basswood, painted with acrylics.

Another good one Claude. Just wondering if a littler red on the hat would break things up, just wondering not criticizing

Hi Claude, Love the Expression, Great Job all round. Merle

I thought about putting the logo of Le Cordon Bleu Paris on the chef's hat, but it was too intricate (I took a class there a few years back!)
