"Angel at Glastonbury Abbey" Ornament
I recently had an art show in Glastonbury, England (Avalon!) and returned very inspired! One place I visited (twice!) was the ruin of Glastonbury Abbey - the abbey has been rebuilt and destroyed several times over since the 7th century and now stands as beautiful ruins. This is a painting of an angel (in a classic medieval Angel pose) in front of the Abbey ruins -and I've given a nod to St. Michael's tower on the Tor in an imaginary geography version of the layout (you can't really see it from this angle of the ruins, but I thought it'd be kinda of an idealized view of the city). The birds are English Robins - which I learned about after seeing them pictured all over the UK - they are quite different birds than our USA Robins, little and chubby, and are harbingers of Winter rather than our Spring. So I thought it'd be appropriate since this will be kinda of a wintry painting. The fruits & flowers she is holding are the holy thorn of Glastonbury (a type of hawthorn that grows only there). My own original acrylic painting.

I have ordered 6 of the angel ornaments and they are absolutely gorgeous! I am an angel collector and these are perfect additions to my Christmas tree. I'm sure I will order more of them. I have also ordered many magnets from Zazzle and have been very pleased. Thank you!! There was no printing involved.

I love the symbolism in this piece! The olive branches and flowers reminding us of Gethsemane and the joy of the resurrection. The candle reminding us of Christ's light and love. I've dropped it a few times already and it has held together nicely. Couldn't be more pleased with this product! Would definitely buy again. The printing was as expected on the front. Clear colors. The back where the artist put her brand name was a bit faded, but still readable.

I figured the quality of this would okay, but honestly it is great. The picture came out very clear and now we have can always remember what our Sancho looked like as a sweet lil puppy. We love it and can't wait to put it on our tree next year. The only drawback -- and it's minimal -- is that the gold string to hang the ornament pretty much really is just a string. I will probably replace it with actual ribbon or something next year. I used an image w/ medium resolution taken with my HTC EVO phone, and the ornament came out great. The colors and image are perfect and clear. I tried to use other lower res pictures, but the website warned me that they wouldn't print correctly. This picture didn't generate those warnings and my ornament looks great, so if you get that warning use another picture! Here is the picture I uploaded and the completed product.
