Crown Santa by Susan Brielmann showcases the artist’s talent for blending elegant touches with her rustic designs. Glittered, vintage style trinkets and ornaments fill the weathered cage that doubles as Santa’s body and a lavish, ruffled paper collar frames Santa’s warm and welcoming face. Swatches of felt and burlap embellished with buttons, twine and individual typewriter keys spelling out SANTA on his cross-body sash complete his attire. And the crowning touch? The handmade, tape-measure crown perched jauntily on his head! Designed and assembled in the USA, the artist employs local artisans to complete the limited production of her three, 2014 original designs: Crown Santa, Birdcage Santa and Teddy Bear Santa.
