YOUR SANTA'S ARE BREATHTAKING!!!!
BARB,
He arrived Tuesday as the FedEx man said he missed me on Saturday. He is the most beautiful Santa I have ever seen!!! And let me tell you
I've been looking for several years. He is so worth every penny. I just LOVE him and my boy was surprised at how big he is. Thank you so very much.
I thank God for creating such creative people such as yourself. It truly is amazing.
Love, Michelle, Calmar, IA
Jill, I came across your site while searching for "Biker Santas" and had to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I am a 48yr old woman and have collected Old World Santa's for years. I also paint and do crafts, and always strive to make my pieces "Live", but I've never seen anything like you do, I was so impressed! Your very good Lady, just wanted to tell you that. Thanks for your time Mary Landrum. I am an avid collector of unusal Santas!

MONTPELIER, OH USAVery Interesting site. It was fun to see the various beard style for Santa. Ever thought of doing one that's permed or maybe spikey? Then again, perhaps it's too radical for Santa. Will check back again in December. Passerby I truly enjoyed your website on Santas. God has given you a very special talent and am thrilled to see the joy from your creations on the faces of the santas. Thank you.

NY, USAI have been visiting my sister at her workshop for a few days. She has been amazing me to say the least. I have seen her sculpt faces and hands carefully...at times in dim light...to accurately form realistic replicas!!! She is a gentle quiet person that anyone would think of as special and caring. To anyone who finds themselves with one of her creations...you'll definitely appreciate it!!...She has put love and her loved ones in each piece of her art. I will try to think of a word to describe her...I know what it is!!! She is an ARTIST!!!! A special thanks to her for giving something wonderful to her niece, a part of herself. Love you Jill. God Bless and much success to a kind spirit!!! Judy

NO, LA USAI wanted to let everyone know that I just recieved "Christmas Spider" from Jill & Zap. He was shown at Shaker Woods Festival and could possibly be In the December issue of Contempory Dolls Magazine. He is so georgeous, you would not believe it. His face is so incredable realistic you may find yourself talking to him. His outfit is of the most beautiful white velvet with silver sparkles. When I took him to work, everyone could not believe how realistic and amazingly perfect he was. Keep your eye on Jill's website because there is always something incredably amazing in the works. Her Santa's are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely, Patty

New Brighton, Pa USAHave to brag about my "Caroling Santa" that I just received from Jill. That makes 4 Santas and 100% pure and total satisfaction. Every Santa Jill made for me was more than I could have hoped for. Zap say's Caroling Santa is a "Real Looker". Hope those of you can get to Columbiana Ohio can see her Santa's at Shaker Woods Festival Aug. 9,10 etc. Jill's Santas are "Unbelievably
Gorgeous from head to toe!! I am definitely a Jill's Santa's Fan.
Patty sprttrk@aol.com
Richmond, Ca. USAHad to tell you that I was able to see in person the wonderful Santas that you have made for my friend, Patty, and they are such a joy to behold! The attention to detail is on every part of the Santa, not just in the wonderful faces you have sculpted, which by the way are hard to believe they are not for real. You have even captured the twinkle in his eyes! I too, hope to be able to order one for myself someday, but currently have a bright son to get through college, so until then I will have to just enjoy Patty's Santas! God Bless.

Richmond, Ca USAJill & Zap: I just received a commissioned "Making a List' Santa from Jill today.
He is the most INCREDIBLE PIECE OF ARTWORK I have ever seen. You would not believe how
incredible Jill's sculpting is. You can see the veins in his hands. And
Santa's outfit is "STUNNING". He is the World's most beautiful Santa from the World's most talented Master Sculptor. Their thoughtfulness of wanting to make my Santa just the way I like was so much fun. If you want the world's most beautiful Santa, you're in the right place!!!!!

Jill & Zap—Over the past few months, I have visited the websites of many Santa creators. None compare to the beautiful job the two of you have done here! Seeing your gorgeous Santas, Jill, got me excited enough to custom order from you. I had wanted a special Santa for our first Christmas in our new home. Today, my Peace on Earth Santa arrived. He’s even more wonderful in person than he was in the professional photos Zap took of him while he was being created—I couldn’t be happier! He is truly a masterpiece, as are ALL of your Santas. I’m so proud to own him! And Zap, the website, photos, and Santa screensaver really are unbeatable! I always enjoy visiting this website and plan to do so often. Thank you both for the outstanding customer service. You’re an amazing couple! Mahalo nui loa a me Mele Kalikimaka ‘ia ‘oe! (Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you!)

Being a friend and co-worker, I have had the opportunity to participate in this process from the first day. I am so impressed by the personal interest you have taken in Summer and her beautiful Santa. As a porcelain
doll maker I am all the more impressed. I wish I could take sculpting lessons from you. Thank you for making Summer's first Christmas in her new home one that she will never forget. (and neither will I)
Billie Mullally <billie.mullally@kp.org>
HONOLULU, HI USAWhen my daughter, Summer, told me she commissioned Jill to make her a Santa, I was intrigued. Summer's excitement was catching as she relayed to me the intricate details she and Jill discussed in to creating Santa. I have just viewed the "Peace on Earth" Santa and it is the most regal, the most majestic, the most wonderful Santa ever! We can't wait for him to reach Summer's home. Meanwhile, we'll help her think of a fitting name to christen him. Thank you for your creative and masterful artistry!
