One of the LDS (Latter Day Saints) churches here puts on a very large display of creches. We visited it last night. They had over three hundred examples of creches on display.
You remember that I did a post on this last year. This year the had a different lighting system and it was difficult to take photos.
I may end up using some of last year's photos.
There are creches made from many , many materials...wood, plastic, china, paper, fabric, metal. Creches come from all over the world. Quality goes from trash to great handicraft and artistic talent.
My favorite is the second photo which is an Inuit print. I think I singled that one out from last year too.
...I like the painting, #2!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's one of my favorites too.
DeleteThese are some beauties. I like the knitted one and the one from Chile.
ReplyDeletethere are many fine examples and that's one of them.
DeleteToo bad that this year’s lighting didn’t cooperate for photo taking. This is an event I would also have enjoyed at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd have enjoyed going through it with you.
DeleteI like this time of the year with all the decorations everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThere's an amazing number of different decorations.
DeleteYour favourite stood out to me immediately. I also like the crocheted (?) one from Chile.
ReplyDeleteThe variety in these nativity scenes is endless
Variety and great quality.
DeleteThey're all wonderful. The second to last one if my favourite.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's colorful with original style.
DeleteYour pictures turned out quite well in the low light, Red I like that painting, too. Something very serene about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the simple lines in the print.
DeleteNice collection!! I have a few hand-made that do not come out of boxes anymore....
ReplyDeleteHandicraft items and great.
DeleteIt's difficult to pick one!
ReplyDeletewhen you see 300 you see some junk and then some beautiful pieces of work.
DeleteI collect creches throughout the year! I just love seeing them- big and small.
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen these ...three hundred of them.
DeleteThey are all lovely but I agree with you, the Inuit print is my favorite. It has such a graceful beauty.
ReplyDeleteSomebody who bought that print had a good eye.
DeleteI do remember your post on creches last year - it's interesting how many ways the nativity scene gets interpreted.
ReplyDeleteThat Inuit print is lovely, with those nice clean lines.
This year I thought I could show you many different articles but I had to use most from last year.
DeleteIt's a lovely display, diverse and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMany were shown last year but there's always lots to look at.
DeleteA wonderful series of creches. I love the Inuit one too.
ReplyDeleteThere were many wonderful examples. The church has a good idea.
DeleteI love these, especially the knit Holy family one! One idea, traditional characters, a little creativity, equals beautiful and touching!
ReplyDeleteYes, one idea and many ways to express it.
DeleteI like that Inuit one too.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of very good Inuit are so I'm biased.
DeleteI vacillated but have come down in favour of Number 2 as my favourite as well.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been able to photograph more of them.
DeleteI love the diversity found in creches from all over the world.
ReplyDeleteDiversity is an understatement. It was a privilege to see so many.
DeleteVery cool. That Inuit print is impressive.
ReplyDeleteYes, I could spend a lot of time there.
DeleteA wonderful event, I would enjoy seeing this. The Inuit art is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLots of excellent art and workmanship.
ReplyDeleteI know you have great respect for Inuit culture so it is surprising that you don't dress like an Inuit with a handmade sealskin suit. There is still time for The Micro Manager to make you one for Christmas.
