Nativity by evalieutionspics

Nativity

I finally took some time to photograph my Nativity which I made umpteen years ago. My mom has never seen it because we have lived overseas for all these years.

One year I made 12 of these. They each took 40-50 hours. When my husband called me during that time, he would ask what I was doing, and I would say, "making Mary heads, donkey legs or king crowns." It always made him laugh.

This is a tough year for us. For the first time in 34 years, my husband is away for Christmas. This is also the first Christmas since my sister died and my boys are all celebrating in the US.

I wish I had had a better backdrop...the radiator is not that attractive!
Sounds like a lonely Christmas for you - so sending warm wishes and happy vibes to you specially! My sister died 5 days ago so a sad one for us too!

@skstein Thank you so much! I used to work a lot in polymer clay but hammers and torch won out. 🙂
