Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel

O Most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, 
splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God,

Queen of Heaven and Earth,

"The Many Faces of Mary" Religious Charm Bracelet


Mary, our Queen,
Holy Mother of God,
we beg You to hear our prayer.
Make our hearts overflow with Divine grace
and resplendent with heavenly wisdom.
Render them strong with Your might
and rich in virtue.
Pour down upon us the gift of mercy
so that we may obtain the pardon of our sins.
Help us to live in such a way
as to merit the glory and bliss of heaven.
May this be granted us by Your Son Jesus
Who has exalted you above the angels,
has crowned You as Queen,
and has seated You with Him
forever on his refulgent throne.

Amen
By St. Anthony of Padua




I wanted to create one bracelet depicting The Many Faces of Mary and I added only a few of the Titles and Faces of Our Blessed Mother Mary.  I wish I had all the medals.

Carmel, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Our Lady of Lourdes Cameo Bracelet

O Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Mercy,
You are the refuge of sinners,
the health of the sick,
and the comfort of the afflicted.
You know my wants,
my troubles, my sufferings.
By Your appearance at the Grotto of Lourdes
You made it a privileged sanctuary
where Your favors are given to people
streaming to it from the whole world.
Over the years countless sufferers
have obtained the cure for their infirmities -
whether of soul, mind, or body.
Therefore I come to You
with limitless confidence
to implore Your motherly intercession.
Obtain, O loving Mother,
the grant of my requests.
Through gratitude for Your favors,
I will endeavor to imitate Your virtues,
that I may one day share in Your glory.

Amen.

On this bracelet I created in honor of Our Beautiful Lady of Lourdes, I used a vintage cameo and was inspired to add angels which I created with gemstones.

I also added a jade flower and porcelain roses as well.


These handcrafted angels I was inspired to add are created with natural azurite gemstone beads and Czech. glass beads and beautiful goldtone metal wings.

Victorian Angels Cameo Religious Charm Bracelet


This is an Angelic Victorian-Style Charm bracelet created with:

Everyone of us are assigned if not one, many angels to help us and guide us in life. God wanted us to have them in our life.

Animals too have angels and my personal experience with an Archangel Jordi, he is the Archangel of animals and knows that animals, like birds are constantly singing the praises of God

That is the reason on this bracelet I added butterfly and bird charms, as a reminder of how we too must sing the praises of God and as the butterflies always enjoying the beauty of God's creations and a reminder of those angelic beings always around us to help and protect.


I created this bracelet with beautiful 3D resin cameos with angels. I also added beautiful handcrafted angels made with hand painted Shabby wood beads, Czech. Glass, Pearls and Metal wings and halos.

I also added a couple of glass butterflies and metal bird and butterflies charms.

Jesus Locket Altered Art Necklace


I created another inspirational and meaningful altered art locket necklace.

I created it as a shrine to Our Lord, Infant of Prague and St. Martin de Porres to be able to carry with you all the time.



The cameo I set it in a beautiful ornate setting and then added it to the locket and adorning it with beautiful amber color rhinestones.


St. Martin de Porres
(He was venerated from the day of his death. Many miraculous cures, including raising the dead attributed to Brother Martin. First black American saint. Also known as Martin of Charity; the Saint of the Broom (for his devotion to his work, no matter how menial) Established an orphanage and children’s hospital for the poor children of the slums. Set up a shelter for the stray cats and dogs and nursed them back to health. Lived in self-imposed austerity, never ate meat, fasted continuously, and spent much time in prayer and meditation with a great devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

Inside locket I added a tiny pocket statue of Infant of Prague, medal of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, tiny cross, three Hail Mary beads from vintage broken rosary.
Other side I added a picture of St. Martin de Porres from prayer card.

Virgin Mary Saints Religious Medals Charm Bracelet


The Depths of the Love of Your Heart
Virgin full of grace,
I know that at Nazareth you lived modestly,
without requesting anything more.
Neither ecstasies, nor miracles,
nor other extra ordinary deeds
enhanced your life,
O Queen of the elect.
The number of the lowly,
"the little ones,"
is very great on earth.
They can raise their eyes to you without any fear.
You are the incomparable Mother
who walks with them along the common way
to guide them to heaven.
Beloved Mother,
in this harsh exile,
I want to live always with you
and follow you every day.
I am enraptured by the contemplation of you
and I discover the depths of the love of your heart.
All my fears vanish under your motherly gaze,
which teaches me to weep and to rejoice!

Amen.
St. Therese De Lisieux

I had the inspiration today to work on some creations with an antique feel and look to them and one of these creations is this bracelet, which I added beautiful sepia finish icon images of Our Blessed Mother with Baby Jesus set in Brazilian wood.

I added an older crucifix, brass flower and charm, smokey quartz and faux pearls.

Medals I added are Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Divine Mercy, St. Padre Pio and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
