Winner receives the Holy Family Small Nativity Set from Willow Tree by Demdaco. Set includes the following pieces:

1. The Holy Family 

A child is born.... 

In response to requests for a small-scale nativity, Susan Lordi created this intimate rendering, measuring 7.5" tall. This one-piece sculpture is ideal for those with limited display space, or who wish to display a nativity year-round. 

2. Shelter for The Holy Family 

This pierced-metal backdrop was created to complement The Holy Family, though it can be used as a beautiful backdrop for other angels or figures as well. "The repetitive swirling concentric mark-making is suggestive of twinkling stars at night. The roof is an intertwined, organic structure that suggests a bower of twigs or branches. Since the surface patterning is complex with tiny elements, I wanted to pare down the form to the simplest possible. It's basically a single sheet of pierced metal, curved to allow it to stand." ~Susan Lordi

3. Sheltering Animals for The Holy Family

Giving watch, warmth, protection..... 

This four-piece set of animals was designed to specifically fit the small, intimate scale of The Holy Family. 

"The Sheltering Animals are proportional in scale to The Holy Family - smaller versions of other animals I've carved, with a few little tweaks in the details. I like that the gestures of their heads and ears express watchful attentiveness. My favorite is the goat - he shows his personality in his stance!" ~Susan Lordi
