Colorado Springs, CO (Seiko Tran) — Handcrafted Santa & More, located at 2605 W. Colorado Avenue in the heart of Historic Old Colorado City in Colorado Springs, is proud to announce that they were commissioned to make two special Santas for the former President of the United States, George W. Bush. Handcrafted Santas & More is a store that specializes in handmade Santas, Elves, Fairies, Vintage Ladies and Witches.
Melanie De Shon, the artist who created the two Santas for Former President Bush, said, “I have been creating Santas for 13 years. These Santas have found homes across the United States, Europe and Japan. I was honored to be commissioned to make the Prairie Chapel Santa as a present to the Bush family and had them delivered to Crawford Ranch in Texas. The second, the Fisherman Santa, was purchased as a Christmas gift for former President and Mrs. Bush in November 2009 and sent to Dallas, Texas.”
Each Santa’s face is individually sculpted out of clay, then baked and painted. Beards and hair are from various types of sheep’s wool. Their suits and dresses are made from vintage fabric, furs, trims & buttons collected from everywhere. They are accessorized with vintage and antique pieces. Each is unique, signed and dated.
Various Santas include Sewing Santa, Woodcutter Santa, Silver Swan Santa, Seashell Santa, Coffee Santa, Photographer Santa, Birdwatcher Santa, Clockmaker Santa, Patriotic Santa and Fisherman Santa. Prices range from $65 and up to $1,000 per Santa depending on the model.
