This is for a hand-painted decorative wooden collectible called the "Love Is Love Sphere".  It was originally a plain white wooden finial for a staircase or something similar.  It came from a home remodel and was ready to be thrown away.  Saved from the trash, it now has a joyful new design.  This upcycled*  design was inspired by God and His love for EVERYONE. 
 
You can display this item by simply setting it on a table top, desk top, shelf, etc.  It can be a great inspiration for you to see it everyday and remember that God loves us ALL.  This creation looks a lot like a snow globe with a brightly colored rainbow going across the top.  It has little sparkly rhinestone flowers on one side underneath the phrase "#LoveIsLove" painted in purple letters.  I truly believe in that phrase and feel that everyone should have a chance at true love no matter who, no matter what!  There's a big red heart painted on the other side so really either side can be displayed.  The base is painted in a metallic gold color.  There's a beautiful Bible verse written in black letters going around the base.  
 
The verse is as follows:
“Do everything in Love.” 
      1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV)  
  
It's such a simple verse with such simple words for everyone to live by.  This world would be a much happier place if we did!
 
The whole item measures 5-3/4" tall by 3-1/4" across at the base. 
 
I truly hope that it will bring you lots of joy every time you look at it!  When you surround yourself with things in your home that bring you joy, it's easy to feel more joyful everyday!
 
Please keep in mind that this is a hand-painted item and is definitely one-of-a-kind so no one else will have one like it!  
The paint used was acrylic paint and everything was varnished to give it a little shine.  Be sure to read the "Cleaning & Care Instructions Section" so you can treasure your collectible for many years.
 
* What exactly does "Upcycled" mean?
 
UpcycleThat.com defines "upcycling" as : “The act of taking something no longer in use and giving it a second life and new function. In doing so, the finished product often becomes more practical, valuable and beautiful than what it previously was.”  Check out their website for some great ideas!
 
Every piece of art includes a Joy Challenge, so I hope you are ready for a little challenge to inspire even more joy!  I will also include a few inspirational goodies to bring more JOY to your day!
