Cruz Natural Crossesare created from materials provided by God. Enhanced by the artist Kim. As God guides my hands on each piece of wood making each into a beautiful one of a kind cross. As no two people are the same, no two crosses are the same. However, each is uniquely special. Crosses are (handcrafted) from exotic woods; such as Cocobolo, Purpleheart, Bucote, Zebrawood, Koa, Tulipwood and many others. Many designs are for both display as well as for the comfort that comes from holding one in your hand. So that you remember, we are children of God; our Father is always walking with us and holding our hand.
Looking Forward to Open Two new Store this Year 2010 for Xmas. Both the Collin Creek Mall and Willow Bend Mall both in Plano, TX.
After the last few years I have been been waiting for a place to locate my Studio. A place that would be open year around. At last the location was found. The Studio is open at La Gran Plaza Fashion Mall in Guadalajara, Mexico. Hope to see you.
At the Mall Studio you will be able to see over a 1000 of my Crosses. I must admit that I enjoy making each and every cross. However, it is a really hard task for me to get them on the web-site. Just a reminder that this site will be in a constant state of being updated, with new crosses. You are invited to see all at the Mall Studio.
Artist's Statement Called by God. With that in mind, I start creating each cross by letting God guide my hands---- as God gives me the inspiration for each Cross. Feeling the natural beauty of the different woods, that God has created, always fills me with a sense of awe. I use rare and exotic woods from all over the world. Each cross takes many days and are completed without any extra finishes: no stains, paints, or varnishes. Yes, only the natural wood. The power of God comes through in each cross. As each Cross is unique, just as each of us. God already knows what special purpose each cross is to play in someones life. I realize a great deal of personal satisfaction of creating/working with God. I am always astonished at the final result and feel that each cross is "The Best we've Made" I know you will enjoy and feel the love of my/his work. Thank you Artist creating for God Kim Samples P.
