This is the sixth (6th) snowflake gift ornament in our annual collection.  This is one of our more complex designs with fleur de lis inferior points on the minor axis and a cascading plume to rounded off points on the major axis combining to surround a central star.  A bright and shining star.  A star that marked the moment and place of our Savior's birth that most special Christmas morning oh so long ago.

This design's title focuses on "Praise".  And that "From Above" every good and every perfect gift comes from our Heavenly Father.   And as we considered the various elements of this design, our prayer was one of Praise.  Praise for the complex tapestry of Scripture which all points to that one special Gift one Christmas morning; our precious Emmanuel, Son of the Living God, Jesus....hallelujah what a Savior!   How can we do anything but Praise!  Yes, that is our prayer with this design - that we gaze on His beauty and during the holiday season we Praise Jesus.

Designed to celebrate our brief moments together with family and loved ones during the holidays, this four inch diameter, intricate and highly filigreed handcrafted porcelain snowflake ornament reminds us that our time with those nearest to our heart passes as quickly as a snowflake melts in our hands.  

After the original art was conceived, sketched, and then drafted, each star and every fleur de lis throughout the snowflake ornament design was hand sculpted, one-at-the-time, as was every other detail of this snowflake.  Each piece of porcelain is gently coaxed from one step to another in the hand-crafting process as it gradually takes shape, being refined into its final image over the course of a few days, many loving hands, and a large dose of heat!    

This Snowflake Gift Ornament is titled “From Above - Praise”.    The poetry on back of package box  says: "Blessings from above reminding us that our time with those nearest to our heart passes as quickly as a snowflake melts in our hands."    The Scripture on side of package box says "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. - James 1:17"   The Backstamp for this design is "Praise @2009" .   This snowflake gift ornament measures 4″ diameter and has Item# SF409.

The acrylic and porcelain stands are available as optional additional items to enhance your collection and presentation and are not included with this item.
