Coca Cola Christmas Display

This is a foam carved display made for a contest between Coca-Cola Retail Account Representatives. The snowboarding polar boar is handmade of ultralight suede and has a leather nose. The snowboard, ramp, ice cave and iceberg are all handcarved and painted. All mini Coca-Cola product logos are from P.O.S. supplied to the RAR. The pictures actually do it no justice.......it looks very, very cool in person!

Welcome to Our Creative Minds blog. We are new to blogging, so our pictures are a bit reversed in order. LOL Please accept our apologies. We have quite a few pictures of the work we do, so be sure to check the older posts too. Thank you for stopping by!
