Merry Christmas

Here it is Christmas Eve. Buddy is all excited of course. He has told Santa that he wants lots of toys and bones. Did we expect anything different? Buddy and I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and all the Best for the New Year.


Buddy is all snuggled up in bed (MY bed) waiting for Sandy Paws to make his appearance.

ChasBatte Studio... A Bit About Me

Hi. My name is Charles Batte, pronounced "bat". I am a senior citizen who has enjoyed a long career in professional theater as a costumer. The last 20 years at San Francisco Opera. About 15 years ago I began making art dolls, first as a hobby and then professionally. My work has appeared in museums and art galleries around the US: New York City, Santa Fe, San Diego, Kansas. Many magazines in the US have featured my work over the years, as well as magazines in Europe and Japan. My work keeps growing and changing over the years. Some artists love to mine one idea continuously, but I am one that likes to explore each idea that links one idea to the next idea and so on. I love what I do and I hope that my work will bring a smile into your day.
