"Today's Collectible becomes Tomorrow's Heirloom!"

Each Santa in the Crakewood Collection is an original Santa Claus designed by Karen Didion.  There is a hang tag attached to each collectible doll with information about the artist along with her picture.  A "Crakewood Collection by Karen Didion" label is sewn to the back of each 16" or larger Santa's coat.

All of the Santa Claus figures have hand painted resin faces and hands with inset glass eyes and real mohair beards.  Many of the exquisite fabrics used to make the Santa's clothing are imported, i.e. tapestry, velvet, jacquard knit, satin, velour, suede and leather.  Whimsical novelty prints and designer buttons set off the vests and coats.  Faux fur, embroidery, unusual braid and tassels are used as trims.  The Santa bodies are fiberglass and weighted to be free-standing.  The decorative accessories are unique, many are created expressly to fit the theme of these Santa collectibles.  All of the attention given to the details make these collectible Christmas Santas special to give as a gift or collect.
