...meaning: “flower of the holy night”.

Using the Fabric and Silk Flower Resin technique once again I created this Silk Poinsettia Flower Brass Cuff using Paints and Diamond Glaze.
There are a couple of versions of the legend of the poinsettia, dating back to the 16th century to a little girl on Christmas Eve in Mexico. The little girl was too poor to present Christ with a gift so, she gathered some weeds. As she approached the altar at church the weeds bloomed into beautiful red and green flowers. The flowers were given the name Flores de Noche Buena, meaning “flowers of the holy night”.It is also believed by many that the star-shaped leaf on the plant symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem and the deep red colors of the leaves represent the blood of Christ.
