DinnellaCrafts&Designs Highlight for Christmas 2012
St Francis and St Clare Project 1
I was ask to make 30 Christmas Centerpieces for the Brothers of St Francis in Italy. I had to design it an get the ok from the customer. Once the Centerpiece model was made and I had figured out the materials and cost an shipping ( estimating the Euro Dollars This was knew to me to do ) Then I was able to start cutting the parts and setting up a assemble y line and get to work . The count so far is 10 fully made and trial an error ones too . Down below is the process of how and what inspired me to come up with this Centerpiece Project. I am hoping the project will be done mid October and I am planning to have a send off party an viewing of the full 30 Centerpieces and Process at East Northport Library close to Nov 1st if possible . Maybe Closer to Thanksgiving so, that my friends if they coming back to the Island for Thanksgiving will be able to come I hope . I will let this information out when close to finishing the project . The Dates, Times , Places maybe be different then expected to be.
This is very important to me because , I am Roman Catholic and a Franciscan of the 3rd Order. Third Order Explained :Third order Tradition assigns the year 1221 as the date of the foundation of the Brothers and Sisters of Penance, now known as tertiaries. This third order was devised by St. Francis as a sort of middle state between the cloister and the world for those who, wishing to follow in the saint's footsteps, were debarred bymarriage or other ties from entering either the first or second order. There has been some difference of opinion as to how far the saint composed a rule for these tertiaries. It is generally admitted, however, that the rule approved by Nicholas IV, 18 Aug., 1289 (Litt. "Supra Montem") does not represent the original rule of the third order. *For more Information see the link belowhttp://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06217a.htm
I am very Honored to be asked to do this Project some of the illustrations maybe out of order or seem " like what ? " But I hope to have it more clear soon. I wanted to get some kind of publicity going out about this project in hopes I will get more of the same types of Customers .
