Hearts A Burstin'
The business name Hearts a Burstin' came from a native shrub growing in our woods.
About Me
- Sarah
- A multi-media artist since the time she could glue construction paper together and an avid gardener, 19-year-old Sarah Samsel combines her passions for creating and creation through “pressed flower art.” In addition to flower petals, Sarah uses foliage, seeds, bark, fruit and vegetable peels/husks and a variety of other natural materials to create pictures, many of which feature animals or historic buildings or depict a simple lifestyle in the Georgia mountains. Sarah got her start in pressed-flower art by making greeting cards, both for local shops and on commission, but has since turned exclusively to framed original art. Sarah is a member of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild. You can visit their website at www.wwpfg.org.

I like that the shepherds and wise men each look like they have different personalities. And, as with any of your nativity pieces, I love the way Mary, Joseph and Jesus look like they have such a close relationship. There is so much thought and detail that has to go into each piece, and each group of pieces, to make the set! How many nativity sets do you make each year?
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
This year I've made two of what I'd consider full Nativity sets. One of those didn't include the angel and donkey. The one shown is the most extensive Nativity I have ever made (and the lady commissioning it wants an ox to add to it). But I also make lots of pieces of Nativity scenes that aren't part of a big set. Angels sell a lot by themselves. And sometimes people just buy the Mary, Joseph and Jesus without the shepherds and everyone else.
