	Christmas Nativity Scene [15, Dec 07]: This is a Christmas Nativity Scene that Gwen has just painted for this years Festive Season. The idea for the centre with the Manger, Mary, Joseph and Jesus is from an old Folk Art and Decorative Magazine and the Wise Men and Shepherds are from a very old Jo Sonja book. The sheet music on the back of the Triptych is of the Christmas Carol Hark the Herald Angels Sing and to make the page look old it has had a wash of paint over it and the edges have been burnt with a candle. There are more Christmas ideas in the Christmas gallery and Christmas Coaster gallery.
	Christmas Nativity Triptych [15, Dec 07]: This is the other side of the Triptych. When it is closed you just see the two angels and the sheet of music and the other angel is on the back of the piece. The sheet of music has the words and tune of Hark the Herald Angels sing on it.
	Serviette Holder [16, Sep 07]: This serviette holder was featured in a recent copy of the Australian Decorative Painting Magazine and we made the shape for the design and have also since painted it with Australian Wildflowers and also have done it using Paper Napkins decoupaged onto the holder.
