Nativity 'thingy'

[scrimper]

I made this nativity item for the wife and ended up having to make six more for family members who seemed to like it. I think I found the pattern in a book somewhere? (I made them last year but only just got round to taking a picture) The purple background is cellophane which shows the item up well when a light source is behind, another way I did it was to use the cellophane and place some kitchen foil behind then a wooden backing, this way it reflects light in an interesting pattern.

 

(The one shown here has the solid backing) It's just bare wood, I did not apply any finish

Thanks for showing, Bob

that IS AVOUT THE NICEST SIMPLE NATIVITY  THAT I HAVE SEEN, a NICE CLEAN PATTERN, NO CLUTTER AND A NICE CLEAN CUT WITH THE BACKER THAT SET IT OFF.
