My First Novica Purchase From Ana Maria Gonzales
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."

Beautiful reminder of meaning of Christmas
This is truly lovely with detailed workmanship. My parish and those surrounding (L.I.,N.Y.)often have a priest from Ghana. This reminds me of their deep faith and ministry they bring to us. I now will add to year round display in china cabinet of other Nativity scenes, including others from Novica. HIS presence is present.
