I leave for London on the 20th to visit my niece for Thanksgiving who is spending a semester abroad there. So I've been busy in the studio making xmas ornaments/reliquaries because I know that, when I return from this trip, the holidays will be in full swing.
I tea stained some paper doilies and added some soulful images from French Prayer Cards....
...and made petite pearl crosses to adorn others.
I found some sweet shadow box lockets recently and turned them into reliquary ornaments...
...using more ethereal prayer card images...
...some printed onto fabric...
...and adorning the back of each one with vintage lace....
...rhinestone crosses....
...and French prayers.
And a few old watch cases.....
...holy lockets...
...and shrines.
Soon for sale in my ETSY shop
and available now for "On Reserve" requests.

Oh, Michelle, how blessed you are with the talent to create such divine (I'm not using the word lightly) treasures. I don't usually make religious comments in posts, but I have to make an exception today and state that the inspiration for your gorgeous pieces came from God Himself.
ReplyDeleteMy heart has been very heavy lately, and I thank you for the joy that the photos of your exquisite work gave me today.
xoxo
Michelle so beautiful are all of your creations! Have a wonderful and safe trip!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip to London, I love our capital city, it is modern and vibrant without ever really changing, I'm looking forward to to trip myself very soon. The only difference is I can do it in a day. If you manage a trip on the Thames Clippers you may be served with your coffee by my grandson...
Have fun and enjoy.
