Connie from Remuera

👋Hi all, I have a new batch of wooden crosses for sale. Hand painted with acrylic, each piece of artwork is unique. I was very happy to sell two crosses from my first batch last week. I have included the remaining crosses from the first batch here.

Sizes and prices are in each photo.
They will make a lovely addition to your home, as special gifts, or as a remembrance for loved ones.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions here, or email me at clamART888@gmail.com.

Have a lovely week!
