Great Christmas present Or holiday cheer add to your collection Joyce Byers, a former fashion designer and artist, created her first Carolers after a trip to London where she saw winter scenes on display in many shop windows. When she returned home to Pennsylvania, she began to craft her own Christmas figures out of wire, newspaper, fabric, and clay which she found in her home Joyce Byers continues to design the Carolers, creating a unique style for each line of figures. She sculpts an original head which will be used to create a mold for the heads in the line and designs the clothing which will be used as a template for all of the Carolers in the line. The body of each Caroler is made of tissue paper wrapped around a skeleton made of bent wire. The molds of Joyce’s original heads are filled with clay to make each head. As each head comes out of the mold, artisans add finishing touches such as nostrils and lips to each head before painting it and adding eyes, eyebrows, and coloring. The heads and bodies are then given over to dressers, who take fabric specially cut to meet Joyce’s designs and use it to dress each figure before attaching the head and hair, finishing the piece. Although Byers’ Choice still makes traditional Carolers similar to the original Victorian style Christmas Carolers, they have expanded their line of products to include a variety of other holidays, themes
