Beautiful. It is so nice to see these lovely old ones.
Toya,I am happy you appreciate these lovely crosses. Makes a break of all the crosses shown so often. Thank you. Unfortunately my cameara technic doesn.t do much good to them. In reality they are lovely to see and touch. You know the edged in circles on the smaller
crosses do represent eyes to protect also against the evil eye. Their color is proper silver, I do not know why they turned out so yellow must be not taken on the right angle. Sorry. Gr. Ingrid
Ingrid, I color-corrected your photo below. Here is what you do if you would like to do the same on your own:
That is magic Lynn, I am going to try that tomorrow, as it is her 1:00a.m. Looks to me clear instructions. I will keep you informed. Thank you Lynn.
the corrected Picture by Lynn Looks really much nicer. One can of course do the same Thing with Photoshop program, if you have it ( in German: Farbstich entfernen). The crosses look marvellous, especially the second from right (at the bottom). Love These wonderful granulated decorations!
Eva,Yes, it is a warm piece. Also pleasing to hear that you wear the cross you bought of me with pleasure. So good when rescued pieces do get a new life.
Thanks for your tip Eva , together with Lynn's instructions I must be able to do it. Going to try it today.
