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."

I would give her an A +++ or 20 out of 10
I get so many compliments on it it is the most beautiful lapis I have ever worn And the great part about it is has my cross in it you don't even know you have it on it's so comfortable and it stays in place and doesn't slide around your neck the cross is always right in the middle where it belongs I'd like to congratulate this Craftsman she did absolutely beautiful work and I would not hesitate to buy anything else from her ! Here is a picture of my beautiful blue lapis unfortunately you can't see the blue as well because of where I'm standing in the light but it also has beautiful gold flex in it Again her craftsmanship is outstanding I'd say 20 out of 10 ! I only take it off to shower !
