"Awesome metal work!"
I love this creative and unique Nativity. I can tell that a lot of work and care has been put into creating it. I thought it was going to be small, but it is large and easily seen from across the room.

"So Interesting!"
When I unwrapped this set, my family said, Wow! The use of recycled parts is so skillfully done. While the picture is accurate, it does not do justice to the sculpture. It is a fascinating addition to my collection.

"A stunning addition to my collection"
I am a fan of Armando Ramirez. I have purchased several of his pieces, for me and for gifts. This is a gift for me. I have nativity scenes from around the world, but this, created by recycling unwanted pieces, is imbued with the spirit of the first Christmas night - unwanted people, discarded, crowded into a shed or cave. But beautiful. Ramirez takes the unwanted and creates beauty. It is already on my mantel, and may live there all year.

"Reflect on the past"
I sent this to my husbands father who was in the Marines during two wars. It has meant so much for him. In spite of living the wars, he also is proud of what he did and what he is now.
