**** THIS DESIGN WAS RETIRED IN 2010 ****

This is the second (2nd) Snowflake Adornment in our annual collection.  Each Snowflake Adornment begins the design process in conjunction with that of the larger Gift Ornament for the year.  Our hope is that together, they express the complete sentiment and design inspiration that we prayerfully set out to communicate through our porcelain ornaments. 

If only we could capture this moment and freeze it in all its fullness and richness of fellowship and joy and conversation and giving and exchanging of gifts with loved ones!.  We were created for a special purpose in God's Kingdom for this moment.  Uniquely formed, specifically created, beautiful in every dimension: perfectly suited to the eternal purpose He has for you for this moment.   This is the inspirational thought and expression that we prayerfully considered and hoped to convey when designing this 2nd in our annual series of Snowflake Adornment Ornaments.

Designed to celebrate our brief moments together with family and loved ones during the holidays, this 2 and 3/4 inch diameter, intricate and beaded 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 bead and curve, and every filigree opening 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!    

Each ornament comes with a silk ribbon loop which is tied as one of the final steps in our handcrafted process.   This Adornment Snowflake Ornament is titled “Frozen”.    The Scripture on the back of the package box says: "The Lord bless you and keep you:  The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;  The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. - Numbers 6:24-26"".    On the reverse side of the ornament, the backstamp says: "Frozen".     This ornament has item number of SF3Z.

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