"With Glory" Snowflake Adornment 2014

Each snowflake is indeed created as a unique work of art by the Creator.  And yet there are similar elements among them that identify them as a snowflake.  Radial axis. Filigree edges. And holes.  

Just like us.  

Created uniquely and as a work of art (in progress).  Yet many similarities.  Rough edges.  And holes.  So it is that we praise God for HIs Creation, in every phase, whether forming us in beauty or conforming us to His image in melting tears of sorrow or cascading streams of joy, we pray that you join us and reflect Him "with glory".

This is the eleventh (11th) 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. 

Designed to celebrate our brief moments together with family and loved ones during the holidays, this 3 inch diameter, traditionally inspired, 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 crystalline structure, 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 Glory”.    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 Glory".    This ornament has item number of SF314.

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