POTD 305/365

I got my nativity set from my Grama Vera (my dad's mom).  She made it for her mom, and then eventually got it back and my parents had it for a while, and now it's mine.  I really do love it, because it's all plain.  I like things plain.  Baby Jesus has a broken hand, and a couple donkeys have broken ears, but I still love it!  Camden set it up this year, and I love how he put EVERYBODY all right around Baby Jesus. 

anyway....this is SOOC:


...so I added a duplicate layer (soft light blending mode), then turned down the saturation.  finally I added a bokeh texture layer (that I made!), set THAT to soft light and turned down the opacity quite a bit.  I like how it turned out.  Oh, and I cropped it.

  2. I think my grandma has one of these...or something very similar that was handmade by an old guy at our church (he passed away many years ago). I would love it if I had it one day.
