Angels in a Hand Caress - A Christmas Gift

I have created a series of angels for Christmas gifts. Each angel is a unique piece, made of ceramics, with a semi precious stone and covered by a thin gilded sheen.

The angel keep sake, is also known as  Handschmeichler in German (or hand caress, in my translation) - is made to fit inside a palm. As its title suggests the angel (a hand caress)  is meant to provide one strength and comfort at a time of stress, duress and anxiety. It carries with it an aura of peace and blessing. 

The angels make for a soothing, enchanting and wonderful Christmas gift and mini work of art.

Two Icons: An Archangel and Mary

Two of the icons on display at Haus Bethel are an archangel and a rendition of the Madonna.

The first icon represents an archangel and I believe that in it some of my interest in Rubliov's paintings transpires. 

 The second icon is a rendition of Mary. It represents my vision of  Madonna's acceptance of her responsibility and her destiny.
