Jim Shore is a cool artist who makes unique figurines for almost every occasion including Christmas, Easter and Halloween.  I think that Jim Shore started out doing something else besides art but later in his life he started using some skills that he learned from his parents to create unique collectibles.

I believe that his mother was a seamstress and made really nice quilts from small patches of fabric.  Each patch of the quilt had its own design and when it was all put together it made an even more impressive design.  Some of the collectible figurines that Jim Shore makes implement this same quilting design directly on the surface of the figurine.  It actually gives the collectible I nice touch that sets it apart from most of the usual collector’s items.

Jim Shore even makes a collectibles line of Disney characters.  I know that many folks young and old will aprreciate these little beauties.  Mickey Mouse being my favorite, I would really enjoy having a figurine of Mickey for my bedroom.

Jim Shore’s collectibles can be found in various different stores but most likely in only the best gift shop.  What I would really enjoy is if Jim Shore made a Peanuts line of collectible figurines because I think that Jim Shore could really make a great Snoopy.
