Christmas Star

This Christmas present for a sister is one of my favorites. It contains nine different styles of calligraphy and numerous cutouts and dimensional features like cotton sheep. It is done in gouache, ink, and Prismacolor. I used composite gold leaf on the stars and origami paper on the wise men. I know the poem because it was set to the tune of “Infant Holy, Infant Lowly” and I learned the song as a child.
