Here's a little progress shot of our nativity scene. We have undercoated the pieces, but from these close up shots they need some more. Then we need to add simple faces, headbands and belts. We have Mary and Joseph, baby jesus in the manger, the three shephards complete with sheep (which obviously need some detail) Finally the three kings. They are painted in metallic paint, but I think I will add some crystal jewels and more paint to make them look richer. Finally the manger needs more work and we plan to paint the north star visibly on the inside.
These decorations (below) were another project Alexander and I were working on.
The beads were all left over from other projects - including my wedding dress! The frames were a recent purchase from Theos. They come in a pack of 5 in two sizes. These are the small ones and there are larger ones. One of their suggestions is to put two together to make a double - amost 3D version. To end you simple turn the ends under with pliers. Now they just need some ribbon to hang on the tree or a card for a present.
