THE NATIVITY II

On Display in Maysville, KY

The Nativity II

After creating the Nativity Sweater for the Miniature Masterworks exhibition in Kansas City, MO in 2017, I was asked to make a second version for the Kaye Savage Browning Collection to be displayed in the new addition to the museum. The new exhibit is called Scaled to Perfection. The Nativity II was redesigned to make it unique and one of a kind. Like it's predecessor however, there are over 70 individual colors of fine silk thread and the gauge is about 64 stitches per inch.

Scaled to Perfection: A Gallery of New Miniatures
October 12, 2018 — May 31, 2019

The KSB Miniatures Collection is celebrating ten years with an exciting eight-month-long exhibition featuring hundreds of newly acquired miniatures. The exposition will highlight some of the most extraordinary examples of fine-scale art to come available in years. Work from legendary artisans of the past and present will be represented, as well as pieces from talented new artisans, displayed on 43 freestanding lit pedestals and in houses and wall cases. Work includes items from every category including textiles, porcelain, fine-art reproductions and precious metals. In addition, several structures—old and new—will debut along with outstanding pieces purchased from the Miniature Masterworks show in Kansas City.

Holiday Shopping

 

Still agonizing over what to get for that special someone ? What gift do you give to someone who doesn't actually need something? Perhaps a conceptual micro knit will fill the bill! There are very few pieces available on my sale page; they are limited and one of a kind. Once they are gone, they are gone!
