This fabulous mosaic cross integrates ten depictions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The iconic images are taken from holy cards and photos of folk art tin milagros. Each precious image is outlined in gold paint and embellished with abalone shell, composite coral, gold-tone gems and other mixed media treasures. The Sacred Heart represents Jesus' actual heart, encircled by a crown of thorns and at the crest, the cross of the crucifixion and the eternal flames of His love. The Sacred Heart symbolizes Jesus' overflowing love for humanity, a love that brings peace to challenging times. "I set neither limit nor measure to My gifts of grace for those who seek them in my Heart!"
The cross measures 14.25" by 10.5" by .5" and is designed as a wall cross with a sawtooth hanger attached. The clay resin cross base is painted white on the sides and glimmering gold on the back. It is signed on the back 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."
