Hand Cut, Embossed and Painted Copper Angel Ornament
From the lovely Mexican state of Guerrero (which includes the resort of Acapulco and the silversmithing town of Taxco), comes this wonderful hand cut and hammered copper ornament. The image is of a bird woman. The detailed embossing and debossing from the hammering is really special. The image has been painted to accent the hammered likeness.
Each ornament hangs from a copper chain that allows it to be hung as permanent décor. But, it also makes a nice holiday ornament as well.
Each of these is hand made in all aspects, so please expect some variation. The true artisanship of the maker shows in each and every one of these angel ornaments.
The approximate measurements are 2-3/4 inch high by 3-1/4 inches wide. The hammered embossing gives the ornament depth, but it's hard to measure. The hanging chain adds an additional 2 to 2-1/2 inches to the height.

Hand-Made Tin Ornament - Angel Cat
More Kittens & Cats
Our Omar now watches over us as an Angel Cat, and that's why we're so fond of these lovely tin ornaments. Each has been hand cut and painted in a classic style - matte with lovely accents. All the cats are black with ivory and golden wings. But, because they are handmade, of course, each is subtly different than the next.
The lovely kitty is deep black with both painted and hammered accents to create dimension. The wings have been separately made and soldered to create a certainly ethereal appearance. On the back, a self hanger may remain as is (so that you can hang the kitty without seeing the loop) or, you can bend the hanger carefully up to hang it traditionally as an ornament.
From wing to wing, the kitty measures about 4-1/2 inches and from head to tail about 5-1/8 inches.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Necklace on Jet Black Crystal Rosary Chain
More Necklaces
More Medals, Amulets & Talismans
Made right here in our studio, This stunning fine art pendant features a light greytone image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in silverplate. We've added this lovely piece to a 17-inch jet black faceted crystal rosary chain. We love the different sized beads as they compliment the pendant image.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a treasured representation of the Blessed Virgin Mary that has been associated with a Byzantine icon or image of the same name. There is some controversy about the original date of the image - ranging from the 13th through the 15th centuries. The actual icon is in Rome and has been there since the late 1400s.
This is a highly recognizable image of the Virgin Mary holding the Baby Jesus in her arms. Catholics have prayed to the Blessed Mother to intercede on their behalf, with her son, Jesus, for help. Perhaps the reason for the popularity of the image is Mary's gaze directly at the viewer, rather than down at her son, conveying her care for the world at large and individuals in particular.
This image is particularly special to us as it was our Grandmother's favorite. Although we never knew her, we have heard of her patience, kindness and open arms of love. And, this lovely medal features a very detailed image of Our Lady, the baby Jesus and the Angels.
We were quite taken by this pendant as it is devout yet the image is subtle. The pendant measures around 1-3/4 inch including the bail.

Note card by Jean-Michel Basquiat - Bird (Angel)

Andy Warhol Items
Born in Brooklyn of a mother who was Puerto Rican and a father of Haitian descent, young graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's legend has lived longer than he did. His works, often labeled neo-Expressionist, emerged from his graffiti and the beginnings of what is now known as hip-hop. A child of the sixties (born, in fact, in 1960), he was internationally recognized in his early 20s, and was gone by 27. He was a protégé of Andy Warhol.
His work is mostly untitled, as is this image, but it is generally known as Bird. We love the way the main focus of the image is flying, but the outer image may indicate that this is an angel

We were so fortunate to find these lovely carded medals from the mid-20th century. We love how particularly important it once was to make things more special and beautiful with an extra touch such as these little cards.

This reproduction scrap sheet is a new production from Germany. It has been created from the last remaining German factory using the old templates and historic plates. Many of the designs, including this one goes back decades. Some designs are even older!
This collection of angels features angels with Valentines, Irish angels, cherubs, winter angels and more!
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent the images. This piece is well trimmed with expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary. We show a pale blue background, but the background is not part of the sheet. The images are held together with small connecting ribs that you can trim to get an individual picture.
These are wonderful with added glitter. Use them in poetry books, scrapbooks, as découpage pieces and even for ornaments!

Icon Style Holy Cards - Guardian Angel - Package of 5
More Holy Cards & Trading Cards
We were quite taken with these wonderful icon-style prints - the detail is gorgeous and the printing superb.
The belief that an angel is assigned by God to protect each person was not clearly defined in the Old Testament, although popular legend suggests that many believed in angels as protectors.
The concept of a personal Guardian Angel is supported throughout the Bible's New Testament, even in the Book of Revelations, or the Apocalypse. It was further fostered by Honorius of Autun in the 12th century. He maintained that every soul was assigned a guardian angel at the moment the soul entered into a body.
But, in popular culture today, even among those that are skeptical of religions, the sense of a Guardian Angel gives comfort to many. Such angels are particularly associated with children. The movie, Grand Canyon, is a great example of such a secular view of the guardian protector.
The depicted Guardian Angel holds a scroll that reads:
GOD HAS GIVEN HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER YOU TO GUARD YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS
These lovely holy cards are a bit lighter weight than some others we offer, but the printing is absolutely outstanding. They are a convenient size for use as gifts or bookmarks - measuring 3-1/8 by 4-5/8 inches on heavy cream-colored paper. The back is blank except for a faint colophon at the bottom, leaving plenty of room for custom imprinting with your own message, or a place to write a note to a friend, or to inscribe an appropriate prayer.

Medal featuring Saint Michael the Archangel - Golden with Color Image
According to tradition, Saint Michael the Archangel was the leader of God's Army against Lucifer's uprising. Saint Michael celebrates devotion among Muslims, Christians and Jews with writings about him in all three cultures.
Michael is known of the patron of the military, firefighters and police. This is perhaps due to his role as protector and defender. He is so beloved, that many towns throughout the world have been named especially for him.
This lovely gold-plated medal is just about 1 inch long and 5/8 inch wide. The captivating color image is of St Michael in a traditional protective pose. The image is sealed in protective epoxy, making it ever the more striking on a golden chain or silken cord. It is also lovely as an addition to your shrine or artwork.

Authentic Vintage German Spun Glass Wing in 2 Sizes
We at SilverCrow were lucky to find a source in German for real, vintage spun glass components so that you can create Victorian style ornaments for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or just because you want to make them!
These pieces were made by hand in a factory in Lauscha, Germany well before World War II. They are certainly elegantly crafted by highly-skilled artisans who were undoubtedly proud to work.
Spun Glass is a form of fiberglass, so it can be irritating and is not recommended for children. And, even though these are in excellent shape, because of the age of the pieces, we suggest you be quite careful when using them for crafting.
These pieces are traditionally used as wings for angels, birds, butterflies and moths. But they may also substitute for the Spun Glass Skirt or Tail.
Two sizes are available:
LARGE Wing - about 1-7/8 inch wide
SMALL Wing - about 1-1/4 inch wide
Vintage Item, Limited Availability

Vintage Hard Plastic Cupid
What sweet cupids these are offering their bows and blowing kisses and generally spreading love! We have several styles - some are illustrated above - but not too many of any one of the cupids. They look wonderful when together. Each little cupid features metallic silver hand-painted accents. But, oddly enough, not one of them has wings.
These are from the mid 20th century, or perhaps a tad earlier. They are made of hard plastic and vary in color from white to cream to tan as illustrated in the picture. Some of them are in better shape than the others, but we've found that the slight disrepair adds to the shabby chic look of these.
We think that they were originally cupcake or cake toppers, but we cannot be sure.
All the styles are about the same height, measuring in at 2 inches high by 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch wide and about 1 inch from front to back.
Because of the varied mixture, please let us select a random cupid for you. Six cupids are shown for illustration.

The ornaments are about 4-3/4 inches from wingtip to wingtip and about 1-1/2 inch high, but, because they are handmade, they will vary somewhat in size.

Paper Angel Ornament
Made in the tradition of vintage Victorian whimsy ornaments, this modern angel is just stunning. Her gown and wings are made of canvas paper and feature Christmas song lyrics. Some of the writing is upside down and we almost returned them. However, we've discovered that the hint of words, when printed upside down, is actually more lovely in pattern and less distracting when looking at the entire piece.
She is trimmed with golden Dresdens and other paper and fabric trims. Her face is quite modern and it seems that she might just be shy.
This is a stuffed ornament, giving it dimension and elegance. It would be as lovely as a package trim as it would be on a holiday tree.
She measures 6-1/2 inches wide by 4 inches high and about 1/4 inch in depth.

Such rustic pieces as these are created specifically for a small home altar or nicho. Such a lovely angel would be just perfect for a display in a child's room.
Each Santo is made individually, so please allow for the variation that only true artistic craftsmanship has to offer. You'll know that you have a unique piece of folk art!

We were extremely taken by the provocative message on this stunning nicho:
INCLUSO LOS ANGELES

(Even the Angels Have Their Own Hell)
The interpretations for such a statement visit each end of the spectrum. What makes the angels suffer so? Is there hell on earth, or do the angels understand so much better what heaven is for having seen hell? Interpret as you will, the message is certainly thought provoking at the very least. Perhaps it is a reminder to assess our own goodness and evil.
The nicho itself is hand made tin, and then it is hand painted with brightly-colored details by traditional artists at the famed Cielito Lindo Studios in México. Once you open the glass covered niche, you can add your own philosophical pieces should you so choose. You'll find a hand-painted glass stone featuring the fires of hell covering an image of Anima Sola.

Reproduction Victorian Embossed & Die Cut Scraps - Holly
More Scraps
Although holly is thought to be the Christmas plant, it's roots in household decoration really must be attributed to the Druids. Like so many Christian and Catholic practices, the use for holly at yuletide stems from folklore and traditions of preceding religions.
Holly remains green all winter and its red berries stand out against the snow. For that reason, the Druids associated it with everlasting life and with a fruitful life and fertility. Initially, holly was banned from Christian and Catholic churches. So, the Christians added some additional symbolism, seemingly to "make it work" appropriately for acceptance. The red berries represent the blood that Christ shed, the prickly leaves are reminiscent of the Crown of Thorns. Legend has it that the berries were originally white, until Christ died.
Not only the Druids, but the Celtic clans and the Romans also considered holly to be good luck. Now that the symbolism works for everyone, you'll find people of all beliefs decorating with holly in the winter.
This wonderful scrap sheet features five motifs decked with holly: a lovely wreath with a big red bow, two cherubs with ringing bells, a kitty cat peeking from an envelope that has been loaded with pine and holly branches, another set of bells and a Victorian shoe with a touch of holly.
Each scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches. And each sheet is artfully embossed to accent the expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary.

Art Postcard - LA Mano Poderosa
The striking image on this wonderful post card finds its roots in the Roman Catholic traditions. In English, the image is known as the Powerful Hand, and in Spanish, as la Mano Poderosa. It will make the perfect background for a shrine or ofrenda.
The central image is the right hand of God with fingers and thumb stretched upright. The palm, with its stigmata, faces us.
Atop the four fingers are St Joachim and St Anne, the parents of the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph and the Blessed Mother Mary herself.
Christ, as a child, is illustrated on the thumb. The most common representation of the Powerful Hand includes small winged cherub-heads (Putti) floating in the clouds above the hand. Four young female angels surround the hand (usual two on the left and two on the right). These angels are holding the tools of the crucifixion of Christ: One of the angels holds a bowl to capture Jesus' blood. The next holds a spear, a vinegar soaked-sponge, a hammer and nails. The third, uniquely gazing at the ground, holds the cross. And the fourth holds the notorious crown of thorns.
Most popular in Mexico, but celebrated in all the countries practicing the Roman Catholic Religion, the Mano Poderosa symbolizes the all-powerful nature of God, and is probably based in pagan symbolism as well - as they prophesized the coming of an omnipotent Christ.

Hand-Painted Retablo on Recycled Tin: The Angel Prays (in Purple)
More Retablos & Shrines
More Angel Retablos & Other Angelic Items
Our sweet Angel Retablo was painted by traditional artisans in Mexico - on recycled, rusted tin sheet. She is almost 9 inches by 12-1/4 inches. Each retablo is hand-painted, so each will differ slightly. Expect the metal to age gracefully over time. In fact, we love that part. We have a similar angel in our bedroom to watch over us and every year she becomes more ours with the aged patina.
This particular retablo features an angel in golden and purple robes praying with her wings spread elegantly behind her. The tone of the piece is purple and blue and will accent a child's room nicely. Retablos such as this make wonderful gifts as giving a Guardian Angel, if only a painting, tells your friend how much s/he means to you.
Traditionally retablos are created to thank, entreat or venerate saints, angels, Jesus or Mary. Many are hung in the backs of churches (sometimes with milagros added). Once the supplicant felt that prayers had been answered, the retablo was then removed to the home.
Retablos are often painted by artists as not all the faithful have talent enough to render their prayers visually. Most retablo art is somewhat primitive and was once considered outsider art.
With help from Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and their contemporaries, retablo art has become quite collectable in its own right. Seeking to preserve Mexican and other Latin American traditions, Kahlo and Rivera began collecting these wonderful spiritual treasures in the last century.
You might consider framing your retablo in a simple wooden frame (without glass is best!) or shadowbox wooden nichos. We like to hang them in the traditional manner with a single simple nail hammered through the top of the tin right into the wall. Because it is made of tin rather than paper, your retablo will easily stand on an easel as well.

Mini Triptych Byzantine Icon with Mary & Angels
More Milagros, Amulets & Icons
Icons are associated with the Byzantine rite churches. This lovely handmade triptych (three panel) wooden icon has been hand-carved on the back and individual icons have been découpaged to the front. The images feature Mary in the center with Archangels on either side.
The angel panels are attached by hinges allowing them to close up so that only the wood is seen from the outside. This style was originally created centuries ago for the persecuted who believed in the angels, saints, Mary and Jesus, to be able to hide their images from the persecutors.
The images are highlighted with metallic golden paper, and, in some cases, gold leaf. The entire piece measures 2 inches high by 3 wide inches when open. The hinges allow it to close for portability and for display. When closed, it measures 2 by 2 inches.
The images of Mary usually include Jesus, but a few feature Our Lady alone. Usually one of the angels is St Michael the Archangel, some feature Gabriel or Raphael.
Because these are handmade, each is different from the next, so please let us choose one for you.

Hand Painted Antique Style Wooden Icon: Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of the many titles given to the Blessed Virgin Mary. A Byzantine icon named Our Lady of Perpetual Help was created sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries (there has been much controversy over the exact date). The original icon has been in Rome since at least the late 15th century, but is truly in the style of an Icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church. She is known in the Orthodox iconography as the Theotokos of the Passion. Catholics have long revered this image as representative of the ability of Mary to intercede with their prayers to Jesus Christ, her son, pictured with her in the icon.
Included with te icon is a complete description of the image as well as a explanation of how icons, including this one are painted. The icon has been hand-painted in Greece with egg, tempura and gold leaf.
This icon arrives with a certificate of authenticity sealed onto the back of the wood. A stamp has been added as well as a wax seal from the artist. The certificate is in English, French, German and Spanish and reads:
This icon is hand made. It is a selected copy of an old Byzantine icon worked on canvas, old wood and set in a gold background.
This lovely icon was created to portray an antique style, which might include the creation of dents, use of rusted rings, dents in the icon itself, and a waxed overlay for protection. The results of these techniques should not be construed as a defect in the product, but rather a part of the design.

Art Postcard - The Lost Chord
Arthur Sullivan (of the famed Gilbert and Sullivan) composed the music for The Lost Chord as he sat at his brother Fred's beside, during his last days. The words were written by Adelaide A. Proctor. Known for its grandeur and eloquence, The Lost Chord is often represented by the young woman playing the the pipe organ with a choir of angels accompanying her.
Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys; I know not what I was playing, Or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music, Like the sound of a great Amen, Like the sound of a great Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel’s psalm, And it lay on my fevered spirit, With a touch of infinite calm, It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife, It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life, It linked all the perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace, And trembled away into silence, As if it were loath to cease; I have sought but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ, And entered into mine.
It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen

More Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is well known as an artist, architect, inventor - a true Renaissance man and genius light years ahead of his time! His fresco of The Last Supper and oil painting of Mona Lisa are certainly two of the most famous works of art in history - by anyone.
Here are 16 of his masterpieces rendered for stained glass coloring - including the Mona Lisa and a highlight of The Last Supper. Also included are Vitruvian Man and Head of an Angel, one of his earliest known works.
You can color the illustrations with crayon, felt-tip pen, acrylic, watercolor, tempera or oil paint. If you mix your coloring methods, you will get a more interesting effect. You can color one side or both to produce rich combinations. If you color only one side, face the colored side on a window facing outdoors to produce a crisper outline.

Angel Board Book for Alteration
One of our customers asked us to sell these. Each is a story about an angel. But - the real beauty of these is that the wings form the front cover and are held closed with hook-and-loop tape! Each book is different, so please let SilverCrow choose one for you.
Customers throughout the United States have been altering them, based on one of Beth Cote's super designs, with amazing results. We hope to have some samples soon!
