The rocks are then soaked, scrubbed and sanitized prior to painting. 

As each color of acrylic paint is added, the rock begins to develop a personality and eventually becomes Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.  Robe, skin, and hair color vary to give each set a unique, one-of-a-kind look. One to two coats of sealant is applied to protect the colors and extend the life of each hand-painted rock nativity figure.

Now, move your mouse over the "before" image below to compare the "after" nativity set to see how ordinary rocks come to life as Mary and Joseph.

Move your mouse over the "front" image below to compare with the "back" image.
