B30 - Byzantine Crucifix

Just a quick note, to say thankyou for getting the brooches done so quickly. They are beautiful! Everyone was most impressed by them at Festival. It is good to see someone doing making this stuff and selling it in Australia! I love the historical authenticity of your items, am most impressed. I will send your link to everyone I can think of.
