"Southwest Santas" are done using the natural tones of the wood. They are sealed, then stained for
a warm finish with acrylics. I feel the wood tones enhance the soft, gentle feel of the Santa. In keeping
the Southwest feel he is holding either a papoose or wedding vase (I have also used a teddy bear) as well as the carved staff.

Note the back of the Southwest Santa and his wonderful beaded cape, with the fringe on the bottom. You are also
able to see more of the red hills of Sedona
