LITTLE CROSS

2.5"x3.5" little crosses. I have some very thin lovely old vintage and antique shards and I had fun applying them to the clay cross base. These crosses are grouted in a soft linen colored grout and are then sealed with a water proof sealer. A cross makes a lovely gift for any occasion and something special to add to your home decor. Available at my etsy shop  http://www.susanjenkinsart.etsy.com/
