Icons as diamond painting
In the Orthodox tradition an icon is a window to the sacred, and its gold background represents heavenly light. In diamond painting that light comes from the sparkle: the gold glows differently by candlelight than by day, just as a gilded icon does.
Clear outlines, deep red and blue garments and serene, stylised faces give an icon its calm dignity. It belongs in a prayer corner or on a living room wall, and it makes a meaningful gift for a christening, a wedding or a name day.
