Nativity Scene

Well, this is the first post on my blog. Welcome!

I thought it might be nice to document some of the art I've found myself working on and share it with whomever is interested. I have so many whims with the materials we have at Messes & Masterpieces, my art is a reflection of whatever I'm experimenting with at the time.

My most recent piece is this nativity scene. I'm really happy with how well it turned out. It was my first experience using the materials I used.

This nativity scene is 5 x 5 feet made with 4 sheets of the strongest plexiglass. Sandwiched between the plexi are pieces of colored vellum cut in shapes and layered to detail and emphasize the trim on the robes, etc. It's backlit with 2 floodlights.

Thanks to the NR Parks Dept. for giving us the opportunity to temporarily replace the very old ceramic nativity that has traditionally sat on that corner for years!

We hope you like it!
