Designing and painting The Annunciation diorama

Designing and painting The Visitation diorama

Designing and painting The Adoration of the Magi diorama

For the last few months I have been working on a new batch of Level 1 Catechesis of the Good Shepherd materials. These will be for personal use but I'm hoping to have all of my designs figured out so that I can make more to sell in my future etsy shop.

Holy Spirit (dove) for the Annunciation work

Pottery (painted wood) for dioramas

Figures of Mary and the Angel Gabriel for the Annunciation work

Mary and Elizabeth figures for the Visitation work

Angel Gabriel

Pottery (painted wood) for the Pearl of Great Price parable work.   
One container is filled with smaller pearls and the other holds the larger Precious Pearl on a shell

After working as a catechist assistant I took over as the lead catechist in the atrium. Since the materials were older and had a lot wear and tear, chips and cracks I decided to remake as much as I could over the summer. Since making materials is an important part of formation, I was eager to get started. I was able to remake most of the works in the atrium.
