This has become our new nativity tradition - these figurines were one of the sets my family used during my childhood. My mother painted the 3 figures of the Holy Family in a ceramics class. I made the "soft trees" a few years ago. The background laciness is achieved with my vinyl doily collection. It all gets displayed in our de-facto shadow box: a single cabinet Tim built years ago as a test sample, with a glass door and box joints -- I thought it was too pretty to relegate to paint can storage or some such other use -- so it now hangs in a prominent location in our house. I'll show better pictures of the cabinet itself in the future.
