“Eternity Shield”
“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts and I am helped.”
Psalm 28:7
This is the verse that inspires me so much on this piece. So the cross is made up of four shields and encircled by the eternity circle of protection. This represents the protection that Lord has promises us. The shield is done in orange, golden, and green colors and again accented by 23k gold.

Angels watching, can you see the four angels looking down from above directly at YOU?
The halo is beautiful with shades of a light burnt orange tones with 23kt gold that line spins within it and makes arch shapes.
A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story.
The inspiration for this piece came from the carpet pages from the “Book of Kells”.
Look closely and you will see the celtic sea turtles pointing to the four corners of the earth.
His wreath you may have noticed resembles larva. Perhaps that’s because there is a butterfly in the middle of it.
