The last post, by Steinbeck made me wonder. Is it acceptable, if one has absolutely no money to spend (like myself), to print off an icon and decoupage it onto a board?
Thanks.
I have some prints from icons on my corner.

Painted. Don't get me started on how difficult that translation is and how misunderstood it is by the general Orthodox world.
As for the style, it looks like a rather generic Russian style.

The Rublev icon of the Holy Trinity
Huh, that is a beautiful one (especially in terms of symbolism and metaphor.)
Digital images of icons are not like even a printed .jpg file because, I guess, the digital file is not, how to say, material. We don't venerate computer screens. We don't put up LCD iconostases. There is a greater value, I think, in the icon that is lovingly made by hand--whether it be painted or a printed photo glued to a board.
