This snowflake design began with the idea that from generation to generation the Hope of our Savior is taught and modeled in homes – like our grandparents who passed along this blessing to us.   And when we thought of grandma, we couldn’t help but be reminded of their crocheted doilies that often were pressed between an end table and the heavy family Bible laying on top of it.  What better way to express true Hope to the next generation?  The center of those fabric and material works of art from prior generations are now captured forever in our porcelain snowflake design of 2012 for future generations.  Its our “hope” that Christ would be taught and embraced in your family, both now and forever!

This is the ninth (9th) 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. 

Designed to celebrate our brief moments together with family and loved ones during the holidays, this 3 inch diameter, rather straightforward and clean lines 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 crochet loop, 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 “With Hope”.    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: "With Hope".     This ornament has item number of SF312.

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