He has a tiny little top hat because the children got a bit overzealous in their snowball rolling and made him larger than the hat they had to place on his head, and he is running his fingers over his belly in disbelief at his size...but also it is done with a little pride that he holds so much snow. (Even a snowman can have a little vanity.) I've got plans for his attire so we will see how this all comes together.
He will be mounted on a 6.75" high base, shown above, that will have a painted winter scene on the front.
The head was dry so I put an initial coat of paint on the surface and then couldn't stand it...I had to rough paint his eyes to see what he was going to look like. I think he has potential!!!
Happy creating and look for another little WIP for tomorrow.

Handsome fella! As usual!
He's gorgeous! I want to thank you so much for sharing your process. I have a question, do you seal your pieces?
Dear Ginny--thank you for your generous comment!!
Z...I do seal my pieces with a matte polymer varnish after I finish painting the piece. I usually use 2 coats to make sure the surface is well protected.
Thank you for stopping by!!
