This gorgeous mosaic cross is covered in coral-red, turquoise-blue, green and bronze beads, gems, glass, and mixed media treasures. The embellishments enshrine thirteen folk art images of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Metal crucifixes and wood crosses are sprayed throughout the design. "Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children...Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know thee love of your Son, Jesus. Amen."
The cross measures 20" by 13" by 2" and is designed as a wall cross. The base cross is resin. The back of the cross is painted and signed by the artist.
The cross is created by Julie Wishmeyer, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Art Institute of Chicago. "I am fascinated with minute detail, daring expression and bold design. My functional art is an assemblage of treasures that truly transform the objects they adorn into something extraordinary."
