Two figures that are mostly made of cardboard and paper. Mary Mother of Jesus on the left, and Joseph (stepdad of Jesus) on the right. They both have medium brown skin (made from paper) and dark brown yarn for hair. They are sitting on top of my fridge because lighting. Random things from my kitchen are in the background.

The same two figures, but a side view this time. They both have long hair. I'm thinking Joseph needs another haircut.

Update on the nativity scene--Joseph has hair now, though he could use a second haircut. His beard is only tied up temporarily while I make adjustments to his hair. Garments coming soon. #recycledart #art #recyclingforart #betterthanalandfill #workinprogress

The base of this is a piece of cardboard coated with Grey paint. The edge lining is made up of little cardboard tubes. The metal bits at the top and bottom are caps. The metal in the middle is a bottlecap surrounded by metal soda can Tabs and a thick twisted bit of metal.

Mostly made of recycled material--leftover packaging, as well as bits of metal I found on the sidewalk (cleaned the metal before using it).
