Here is (Sleepy) Santa #3. I am getting a bit better (I think) with each new face. I also decided to play around with Photo Shop and do a cool background\u00a0edit for this picture. The face is nearly the same size as the other carvings I have posted here.<\/p>\n<p>The background wasn&#8217;t really staged for this shot. It is the mantle in the living room. I just walked up and fired off a few close shots with the Sony digital. This Santa is leaning against a very colorful glass Santa like the old fashioned glass tree ornaments&#8230; only much larger. So as not to let the background detract from the carving I decided to play a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria didn&#8217;t want these carvings to look &#8220;spiffy new&#8221; so there is a little intentional &#8220;aging&#8221; and debris to make it look like its been hanging around for quite awhile.
