The Manger


The simplicity of my Italian terracotta figures reflects the humble Christmas story.



I like using old and earthy elements for its setting as well.


Country figures and animals play a big part of the scene, even though I didn't include them all here.



  I enjoy the traditional story read from the beauty of the King James version which many of us rehearsed as children.


Wishing you Christmas joy!
Ciao! for now!
