Orthodox, Russian and religious crosses, icons, angels, and gifts hand crafted in the traditional Byzantine Art style using tin or aluminum. Icons related to Bible FIRST HOLY COMMUNION GIFTS
Each piece is hand inscribed with a stylus onto a sheet-metal of 0.1mm thickness. The metal is an alloy made of aluminum, tin and pewter. It will never rust nor will it need to be polished. The metal is very malleable and easy to work with. First, on the back side of the metal you inscribe the design, creating a relieved area on the front of the metal, then carefully sculpt or outline the relieved area shaping the lines of the design as tightly as possible. Once the embossing process is finished, proceed to mounting the work on a piece of wood. Usually pieces are mounted on wood of 1/2" thickness. This is used mainly for icons and crosses. Different shapes of wood are used for boxes, frames, clocks and more.. Once you have mounted the metal onto the wood you can apply a patina to give it an antique look.
