Happy New Year! We sincerely hope that all of you had a memorable holiday season.
2012 marks the 10th Anniversary of Jim Shore Figurines Heartwood Creek Collection. Jim's unmistakable handcrafted style captures the true essence of both American and European folk art through traditional themes and motifs. As is always the case, each Jim Shore Figurine features a variety of quilting patterns and oftentimes has his signature rosmalling evident.
Jim says that his inspiration comes from a recollection of childhood memories as well as a deep appreciation of handcrafted quilt patterns and textures.
To celebrate Jim's 10th Anniversary he is introducing many new releases that pay tribute to the origin of the Heartwood Creek Collection. (Pictured above is one of these Tribute Santas named "Classic Santa with Birds". How many of you remember the original?
So far, we have gotten a sneak peek at 6 Jim Shore Santa figurines that will be new releases modelled after their original sculpts. As time goes on, we are sure that Jim will introduce several more of these special anniversary pieces through Enesco. Please stay tuned!
