"With Awe" Snowflake Adornment 2010

This is the seventh (7th) Snowflake Adornment in our annual collection.  Each Snowflake Adornment begins the design process in conjunction with that of the larger Gift Ornament for the year.  Our hope is that together, they express the complete sentiment and design inspiration that we prayerfully set out to communicate through our porcelain ornaments. 

This design's title is "With Awe".  We stand in awe in His presence, surrounded by His love, and enveloped in the love of family and friends.  Further, as we contemplated this year's design, we stood in awe of how God answered prayer this past year and in ways unimaginable.  His love is overflowing, abounding, generous, personal, and in the presence of God's only Son and the atoning gift of love that He is, how can we not stand With Awe?  

Designed to celebrate our brief moments together with family and loved ones during the holidays, this 2 and 3/4 inch diameter, rather straightforward and clean lines handcrafted porcelain snowflake ornament reminds us that our time with those nearest to our heart passes as quickly as a snowflake melts in our hands.  

After the original art was conceived, sketched, and then drafted, each heart and raised line, and every filigree opening throughout the snowflake ornament design was hand sculpted, one-at-the-time, as was every other detail of this snowflake.  Each piece of porcelain is gently coaxed from one step to another in the hand-crafting process as it gradually takes shape, being refined into its final image over the course of a few days, many loving hands, and a large dose of heat!    

Each ornament comes with a silk ribbon loop which is tied as one of the final steps in our handcrafted process.   This Adornment Snowflake Ornament is titled “With Awe”.    The Scripture on the back of the package box says: "The Lord bless you and keep you:  The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;  The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. - Numbers 6:24-26"".    On the reverse side of the ornament, the backstamp says: "With Awe".     This ornament has item number of SF310.

The acrylic and porcelain stands are available as optional additional items to enhance your collection and presentation and are not included with this item.
