This icon of the Hodegetria or she who shows the way, joins the Virgin of the Sign which I did in a workshop with Diane Hamel in November (see November posts in this blog to see the steps of the process). This icon was done entirely on my own following the directions I wrote down and photos I took during the last workshop. It was a nerve wracking but contemplative process.

Icons are very beautiful and should be used for contemplation when traveling and in need of some peace. Your icon is especially lovely and I appreciate seeing it. Will you be doing more?
Thanks for the comment, Aurore. I don't know if I'll do another icon, but I would have never imagined doing the 3 that I've done! The fastidious layering is not my usual style as you can tell from the rest of my blog, but it is a very contemplative process and this one is very soothing.
