Nativity

- by Cathy (Kate) Johnson

This week's theme: Merry Christmas!

It's the week of Christmas. In spite of the consumer frenzy that retailers have been trying to whip us into for months, it still comes down to the traditions and memories that we hold dear. Merry Christmas!

-Melissa Morton


Art: Nativity by Artist Cathy  (Kate) Johnson
I found the bit of Bavarian nativity ephemera in an antique Hoover cabinet and saved it for years, never quite knowing what to do with it. When I got into collage, at last it found a home. The collage makes use of a sunface tile my eldest godchild made, dried leaves, a corrugated matboard, and the back of an old green book. The little book at the bottom is a photocopy of an early 19th Century catechism I found in a local antiques mall...everything seemed to work together.
