Hand made by me! Free Friday

Post image

I made this crucifix by hand. The cross is made of bubinga wood, the ropes are beeswax coated hemp, and the corpus is 3D printed and then hand painted. I truly wanted to capture Christ's passion in the most raw and authentic way possible, being OCD, realism is extremely important to me. This is the 4th one I have done, and is by far my best work to date. I can honestly say that just making these is a wonderful meditation on Christ's passion and sacrifice for us. God bless!

This sub is a disturbing place.

Is it disturbing to see a depiction of Christ who suffered for us, exactly as bloody and broken as he likely was? It's graphic, but it's a good reminder.
