Flight into Egypt

 The Flight into Egypt is challenging but a lot of fun to make.  This is my daughter's work which she made for an atrium in Georgia while  staying with me.  She is an artist unlike myself.  It never ceases to amaze me how everyone's sculptures look so much different.  Also every sculpture an individual creates looks exactly the same.  It's like a person's signature.  Try as I will, I can't make my figures look any different, perhaps a little improved, but that's the best I can do.
Flight into Egypt is a Level II (6 to 9 year old) work.  The work also includes 3 panels with pictures showing Jerusalem, journey through the desert, and Egypt along with sign showing both directions.

    
 
 
 
 
Below are the materials that my husband and I made.  He did the three panels and the wooden sign.  I did the staining and painting, the figures and Scripture booklets.  I downloaded the photos and enjoyed choosing from all the images and reading about these places.  You really enter into the Scripture while doing these materials.
