Large Gold Belsnickle
by Bethany Lowe

• From the Bethany Lowe Heirloom collection.

This serene Belsnickle stands on a snow mound in traditional German fashion. This Large Gold Belsnickle Santa is a standout piece that is lightweight and sparkles with glitter! He almost looks like he is made of chalkware, but instead he is made of paper mache. Paper mache is a very creative process, the results of which are so special that it makes us appreciate the skill it takes to make these pieces. He is painted in a cream color with golden arms and a gold band around the bottom of his coat, which is dusted with mica and glitter. The band around the gold Santa hat he wears is cream flocking. He is carrying bottle brush sprigs that are tipped in white beads, because what is a Belsnickle without a gift in his arms?
