Homemade Crosses

Homemade Crosses

I not only like to collect crosses. I also have a passion for making homemade crosses. I am not an expert at homemade crosses or I would be selling my own crosses on line. I haven't even kept one homemade cross for myself. I usually make them for gifts for other people that I know have a special appreciation for homemade crosses or any other homemade items. When I spend that much time on homemade crosses I like to know some will enjoy them. I don't have an obsession with crosses. I just found, like myself, a lot of people share my passion with crosses. Could it be what it represents? Or could it be there is such a verity of them available? There is one for everyone. My homemade crosses are one of a kind. The ones made of mosaic are partially made from pottery I busted up myself. (My friends and family laugh at me when I tell them "That is my anger management class".)

I usually make them for a certain person. The blue one at the top I made for a very special lady on the first anniversary of her husbands death. They were married for over 50 years.

The homemade cross to the side symbolizes the flag. I made to pay tribute to all the men and women that have fought and died to make this the great country that it is. We may not all agree on war but we still need to support the men and women who give their all. "THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND SERVICE AND TO THE ONES THAT LOST LOVE ONES". May God bless you everyone.

I have also played around with homemade crosses made from barbwire. The first barbwire cross I made was from some barbwire I detached from our fence post. I have no clue how old it was. The fence we have now is probably 35 yrs or so. I think that kind of thing is pretty cool. Not only is the cross homemade , I recycled. Messing with barbwire can be dangerous as well as the ceramic the mosaic crosses are made of. I have scratched and poked myself. So be careful.
