Artificial, Illustration Friday

Christmas came early this week as I scrambled to find something to post for this week's word, "Artificial." Peering outside the kitchen window, I noticed the little ones next door had stashed a plastic Santa near the gate. Was this decoy left by the little munchkins to trick the neighbors into thinking the holidays were near? Ha! This fake Santa just brought me inspiration for Illustration Friday. Besides, everybody knows the real one's still out there enjoying his summer vacation in an undisclosed location far, far away!

Hey Michele all he needs is some mushrooms. He has pink rosy cheeks - the epitomy of santa!

I love how your Santa is nestled in amongst some bird of paradise flowers. It's very cute and beautifully done!

Heisann!
Christmas and Santa might be the most fake we know!
Jesus is not born on Christmastime, and Santa is always the neigbour!
Great work ;:OD)
