Today were are to imitate the porcelain look of Belleek pottery. My church has a ministery of knitting and crocheting shaws and lap blankets for shut ins and for a gift to those that are baptised. I do every craft there is but I do NOT knit or crochet. What I do is make all of the cards that accompany these gifts. This is one of them. I don't live far from Columbus, Ohio and outside of Columbus is a town called Dublin. Has a great Irish store and they do carry Belleek. Last trip there I drooled over a gorgeous cross. This is my small attempt to recreate it. Great fun challenge.

WOW! How cool to have an Irish store so close. I am jealous! Your card is just stunning - that cross looks like porcelain so much I thought it might be a pin! Beautiful job~
