Guardian Angel Custom Icon

Light, Guard, Guide

Did you know that you have your very own unique angel sent by God to guide you, be your light, and walk beside you through life, death, and into heaven? Such a powerful ally to acknowledge and befriend!

St. Padre Pio often talked to his guardian angel and even sent him on tasks and errands of goodwill to others. While we are not all able to see or speak to our guardian angel as we would another person, you can use this image to remind you that you are not alone, and there is always someone watching out for you.

When you need a companion even more committed to your best interests than yourself.

Invite this guardian angel, as a representation of your own, into your home to protect you and direct you on the path of life.

Custom Icon Details:

Choose a Board:

Choose one of 3 traditional icon boards (shown in the images) to express your individuality, or go with a simple 5" x 7" claybord, framed.

• 7" x 9" Round top
  
• 6" x 8" Rectangular
• 8" x 10" Rectangular with Kovcheg*
• 5" x 7" Claybord with frame included.

The icon boards are made with linden wood with oak braces. The white gesso on the  surface contains rabbit skin glue, chalk and marble dust, in order to accept and absorb the egg tempera paint used to create the icons. A claybord is a thinner board which cannot absorb as much paint as the traditional boards, but can still create a beautiful icon.

Choose a Halo treatment:

 Choose one of 3 options to express your individual style and creativity.

• Painted halo (example shown in the images)
  
• Gilded Halo (+$150)
  
• Gilded Halo Embellished (+$210)
  

Gilding involves adding gold leaf to the halo area. In an icon, gilding represents the radiating heavenly light.

I use 24kt gold leaf in 3 layers. Preparation and application can add about a week to the process. Choose the embellished gilded halo if you prefer a little something extra. 

Additional Notes:

• This icon will take about 4-6 months to create once ordered. This is to allow adequate time for the paint to dry and cure before sealing it with a protective coat.
  
• This item is non-refundable.
• The process of writing icons is based in prayer. If you have any intentions that you would like me to pray for while I work on your icon, please include them with your order, or email them to me at marissa@marissaparsonsstudio.com once you have completed your order.
