I made this very poor copy of the Nativity, originally designed by Tatiana Ovshinnikova, who does some amazingly beautiful work! I'd love to learn how she does it! Anyway, my version was made for my lovely 18 year old Niece Sharon, who has Cerebral Palsy. She is the youngest of five and all her siblings have now left home, married and are having babies. At home, it's just mum, dad and Sharon now. Life is moving on. This Nativity is to remind her that even though family are scattered far and wide, we are still together. A reminder of new beginnings - especially with new babies in the family, but that just means - more family - and at this time of year, we reach out to families! So to all our families, I wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and best wishes and blessings for all our families, wherever they are scattered!
My Blog is where I share my interest in cloth dollmaking. Please comment on my work, ask questions, and we can inspire each other! I am passionate about needle sculpting and developing new techniques and designing new patterns, so everyone can 'have a go'! I hope you will follow my blog and see what I can come up with that's new, and interesting!
