Exploring more on the idea of my last post about using the image of the goddess in my Christian worship I took some of the ideas of who I am in Christ and created a couple of beaded brooches.
It’s been several years since I last sculpted my miniature figures, but this brooch is based on John 7:38 “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
Is the face any better? but perhaps that face will appeal to someone. The crown/hair is goldwork and the centre of the heart is a Rhodonite Cabochon. It’s based on 1 Timothy 1:5, “The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”
Yep, faces improving. This one also combines beadwork and goldwork. It’s based on Psalm 51:10, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Well, this last one just developed as a baby under a rose embroidered blanket!
Anyway, I hope you liked them, it’s been interesting and useful to use a different technique to combine my faith and crafting.
