LITTLE JOSEPH (Patreon)

Hello, friends!

Today, I'm happy to introduce Joseph, the next character joining Mary in our growing Nativity collection!

Just like Mary, Joseph follows our signature cute and playful style, but also features the new articulation and assembly approach I've been experimenting with.

Instead of using traditional articulated joints, the body, head, arms, and head covering are printed separately. This helps preserve the character's original shape and details while opening up more possibilities for creative color combinations.

Of course, Joseph wouldn't be complete without his iconic staff, a traditional symbol of his role as a protector and guide of the Holy Family.

A little fun fact: In Christian tradition, Joseph was a carpenter, which is why he's often depicted with woodworking tools. His staff is another familiar symbol in religious art, sometimes even shown blooming with lilies to represent purity.

I'm really enjoying how Mary and Joseph look together, and this is just the beginning of something special!

I hope you love Joseph! Stay tuned, our little Nativity scene is slowly coming to life!
