The trouble is that there are a dozen wise men, four Josephs, four Babies, four shepherds(which is just right), and one Mother Mary, with both hands broken off. That's not counting the animals - four cows, four lambs, and five camels. Without Mother Mary, complete with hands, you haven't even got a story!
well you can sort of angle her so her hands don't show -- or make her a teeny tiny shawl to cover her handless state
ReplyDeleteHA! Good one! I love it! That little shawl would have to be made out of spider webs. I wonder....
ReplyDelete*thinks about it*
Well, you know how it is. St. Mary has her hands outstretched toward the Child. So, I could just make some new hands out of play clay, I guess. Or that stuff you bake.. Primo? Na.. I'll just keep looking for a set that isn't mortally wounded.
or you could lay the shawl over her arms like she was going to pick the baby up in it :)
ReplyDeleteand seriously word verification of snerses???
snerses is it? Hmmmm.. that is just weird!
ReplyDeleteYes, a little shawl should disguise her lack of hands And there's a way to do it during the glaze fire. It's worth a try, Rho, and thanks! You reminded me of lace dipping.
