This picture was taken on the beaches of the Northern Island in New Zealand. This is the screen display version of the picture.
Our magnificent screen was erected by Bishop Fox of Winchester in 1520. Although the general appearance of the screen, with three broad rich bands of carvings, is that of the original, most of the detail is from later periods. Whether all the original statues were ever installed is uncertain, as the screen was completed within a decade of the Reformation when such statues were forbidden. The small carvings of the Lamb of God and the pelican (a badge of Bishop Fox) immediately above the rows of angels are probably original, as are some of the bases of the niches. The small carvings in the corners of the two doorways, showing hunting scenes, may also be original.
In 1703, the Great Screen was concealed by a painted wooden screen on which were inscribed the Lord's Prayer, Creed, the Ten Commandments, a dove descending with a group of cherubs heads topped with flaming urns.
This wooden screen was removed in 1830, and the niches restored and three rows of carved angels added.
In 1930, the lower portion was gilded and a new panel showing the Greek and Latin Fathers of the Church was added. This was inspired by a panel in St Mark's, Venice. The central figures of Christ in Majesty (St Saviour) and the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Christ Child (St Mary Overie) were gilded in the 1970s.
The majority of the figures set in the screen were carved by Messrs Nicolls of Lambeth from 1905 onwards. They tell the story of the church in which they stand.

I created a screen print design which I then screen printed onto fabric. I wanted to test the different colours and the effect they had on the different fabrics.
Project 365 // Day 221 - So, I was pretty surprised when I saw the UPS guy carrying up a large box to our door this evening! I must admit, I'm pretty impressed with idoengraveables.com! I ordered our guestbook frame just five days ago, and it shows up today! The must have gotten right on top of our order, because it came from Georgia, so it must have been traveling for at least two days! Anyway, I love it. It's perfect. The size is perfect, the frame is gorgeous, and the engraving is perfect. I know I've been crazy excited about our wedding, but it's finally becoming real to me. I mean, more real than it was before! I have a storage room filled with wedding stuff in storage bins, my parents just offered to buy my dress, and we might have finally found our first dance song! I can't wait to be Mrs. Miller!
