Cardiff Nativity-Final week!

The Cardiff Nativity is in its final stages of production. It opens on the 1st of December. So a frantic week lies ahead!  Work has been constant over the last few weeks, to realise the designs for the production.The large puppets are almost finished.
Before the show opens I wanted to show a few more photo's of the large puppets, as they have developed considerably from the early stages.

Things are moving very fast in the studio, and I hope to have a few more photos of the finished camel and Angel in the next few days.

  2. I found it daunting working on a small scale nativity scene so can only begin to imagine the chalenges to a project of this magnitude. What a lush scene it is going to be. I am eager to see the final product.
