Crosses Hacienda

Gave this to my Christian friend for her birthday. it's gorgeous and 'modern' looking and would work well on just about any wall.

Over time I have purchased a number of Ana Maria's stunning decoupage crosses and decorative boxes. This is the one that began my collection. While the feeling is rustic and antique, the cross itself is finely and perfectly finished--without flaw. The picture doesn't do it justice. There is substance to the pinewood and the edge is beveled and beautifully finished in a muted gold. The metal ring for hanging has the appearance of aged iron.The colors are clear, yet soft. The size is 11 inches high, small enough to fit above a doorway or in a grouping of objects, and still large enough to make an impression when hung alone. This is a very tasteful cross, crafted with care and artistry. I was so happy when I received it, that I immediately ordered a second cross from the artist, the larger "Virgin Morenita Guadalupe."

Birthday gift for a best friend who is devout. She called me this week to let me know her gift arrived and was nicely wrapped. She said it was beautiful and she loved the vibrant colors. She had already chosen the perfect location for it on her bedroom wall. I've started checking Novica's artisan creations each time I want to make a gift purchase for a friend or family member. The items are unique, gorgeous, and well-made.
