Crèche in gourd (Colorado)
A simple dried gourd has been transformed into this two-level crèche. At the top a tiny angel hangs suspended. Below the holy family is set in a grove of dried flowers. These figures, made of polymer clay, are Native American in their inspiration and show the Christ Child strapped to a traditional cradle board.
