Looking for an icon...

[Llauralin]

Does anyone know where I could get an icon of Jesus the True Vine that's different from the one in my avatar, and somewhat inexpensive? My father really likes all the Tree of Life pictures, and icons as well, and I wanted to get him one for his birthday in a couple of weeks. All the versions I've seen online have embossed silver, making them somewhat out of my pricerange.

Other than my avatar, think along these lines:

I am writing an icon based on the True Vine, called the "Life Bearing Tree" which has the cross at the center and branches forming from the cross with oen of twelve different ranks of saints forming at the end of each branch. I will post a scan of it on here when I am done with it. However, it won't be done for a few more months, so that won't help you.

OH, that sounds neat... Please post a scan when it's finished; I'd love to see it!

If I buy an icon print, am I supposed to ask a priest to bless it?

Prints should be blessed.

I will post a print when it is done, but it will be later this winter before it is finished.
