Here is the tiny spool nativity that I made for my mom for Christmas this year. I go the idea from my cousin Betsy's blog Annanimity. They are actually ornaments for the tree. They are about and inch and a half tall. Mary has a navy swatch of fabric on her spool. Joseph is wearing brown corduroy, and the kings are wearing a bit of purple velvet ribbon. Fun to make! Thanks, Betsy.

Some wee wooden folks just for fun!
So... I know these aren't watercolor paintings, but they are little "paintings" of a sort that I made a while back. They were intended as pegs in a birthday ring like I have seen over in Europe. I never did make the birthday ring, as the wood-working was beyond me...but these little people are still fun for my daughter to get out occasionally and imagine with! They are made from wooden pegs from the craft store and painted with acrylic paint. I used the tiniest bit of ribbon, wire, felt and even feathers to eek out as much detail and cuteness as I could manage. These were a lot of fun to make.
