A Virgin A Day.......Day 7

Small Cigar Box Wall Shrine.................








I made this small wall shrine out of a cigar box
last year.
It is home to a small Icon from Poland.
( it happened to be in my Christmas stocking one year :)

    I love your Virgins of the day posts. Very beatiful. A past student of Catholic school, they have very special meaning to me:)

    I think it is a beautiful shrine as well. I love the stamped metal frame around the image of the virgin and child. I am wondering who the people in the photo are. Family? It must be a very special shrine for you. It is lovely really!

    Your shrines are marvelous. Truly inspired and guided by St. Luke, the patron saint of artists.

    Gayle, this is stunning. I have a ton of cigar boxes that were recently given to me by the mom of one of my students. I really need to get busy and do something with them. You are an inspiration!
