Karl...Santas Newest Helper

Meet Karl....he's Santa's newest helper! I had fun making Karl, he is totally hand-drawn by myself....and measures approx. 32 inches high. He is wearing a dirty red-check shirt with vintage bakelite buttons sewn down the front. Karls pants and hat are sewn from matching red patterned fabric. His hat has a huge rusty bell on the tip. He has 3-dimensional lips and nose. He has bendable elbows and knees so you can pose him in many different ways, he will sit in a small prim chair, on a bench, in a cupboard... or if you wish I've included a hanger on the back so you can put him where you like. Karl has his name-tag pinned to his shirt so that Santa knows who he is! I've included a big ole gingerbread man with Karl, hopefully he won't get the munchies before he's done helping Santa load his sleigh! You won't see him done by anyone else but NikNak-PaddyWhack!...I do not use glue on any of my dolls......you won't be dissapointed!
