So yeah, it's a nativity scene.
Thought it would be a nice thing for the grandparents-in-law this christmas, despite my really obvious lack of christian-ness.
But I could not bring myself to do white blond baby jesus. So here's my nativity with people who might conceivably have been there, though not wearing anything they could conceivably have been wearing
In other news, making baby jesus the source of light is fun.
I love nativity scenes set all over the world. I have a card with Mary done in Muromachi-style Japanese traveling garb, holding baby Jesus, and I remember one done Inuit style, and another done West African style. If you think about it, blond, blue-eyed Jesus was just a product of Europeans European-izing the theme in the same way.
Your one is lovely. Baby Jesus is really sweet and I love the light on the edge of Mary's robes.
I should at some point find & scan the photograph we have of me as an angel in a nativity play. I am about five years old, tiny, and *entirely* oblivious to the fact that I'm out of sync with all the other angels.

In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and *Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same.
