Red Suit Studios

Most of you probably don't know that my Mom is an artist. She is not your typical artist. She focuses more on jolly-old fat men that sneak into houses at night to eat and drink your children's cookies and milk:)

My mother's artistic relationship with Santa began when I was still in grade school. She would meet up with a group of friends for girl's nights and they would spend the evenings painting ceramic Santas. They would learn new techniques & share painting tips. After a few years of painting Mom realized that between taking care of us kids and working her new job at Harding University there just wasn't much time to paint. So she put her hobby to the side to focus on the family.

Fast forward to fall of 2009, one afternoon Mom was cleaning her makeup brushes and it reminded her of her paint brushes. She decided to pull out her supplies and paint a Santa for the fun of it. That was all it took. By the time November rolled around she had painted enough inventory to have a booth at a local holiday craft fair. She was also blessed to be able to sell her Santas in a local Interior Design Shop and a high end decor shop in Little Rock.

Once we saw that people were interested in Mom's Santas, brainstorming sessions started and Red Suit Studios was created. We have spent the last 8 months ironing out the details for the business and we are really excited for the 2010 Holiday Season.

I had to include a few pictures of Red Suit Studios pieces, but I didn't want to reveal everything. You can click here to go to Red Suit Studios blog and see more holiday creations:

This last picture is my sister modeling a hand-made (with no pattern) apron that I made for Red Suit Studios. I made 3 and thought they would be perfect company uniforms for craft fairs:)

Mom- I am incredibly proud of you. You are incredibly talented and I love you!
