Here are a few pictures of my icon in progress. I'll try to remember to photograph the stages as they occur. It is an amazing experience! I never knew it would be so meaningful. It has definitely become an important part of my spiritual journey.
By the way, my icon is called "The Guardian Angel". My instructor chose this icon for me, which I believe was meant to be. I missed the first class due to my fateful trip to Edmonton in January. At the same time I was to be in my first class, I was actually rolling into the ditch in a van. The next week, without knowing about the accident, my instructor suggested the Guardian Angel. Good choice! By the way, the angel is not holding an actual baby - the baby represents my soul.
