The Armor of God...

Okay, so if you couldn't tell form the title, this post will have some (a lot) of religious content.

Once upon a time Mom bought me a bag charm/key chain that represented the Armor of God, unfortunately however, they quickly tarnished. So to save them from complete ruin, I took them off my bag and just hung them up on the key-hook in the lounge where I sort-of forgot about them. Mom however lost hers and has been unable to replace it. 
For those of you who don't know what that is, here is the bible passage it comes from:

These were the first, made from polymer clay.


(King James Version)
Ephesians 6:10-18: 
(10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

So I have put the particular parts of armor in italics, but as you all know, a picture speaks a thousand words, so without further ado, here they are:



Two of the sets are made from casting resin that has been tinted, and the last of them made from polymer clay.

All things considered I think that they turned out rather well. Here is a close up of the individual pieces...


The Helmet of Salvation.

The Breastplate of Righteousness.

The Shield of Faith.


The Sword of The Spirit.


Belt of Truth (to gird your loins).


Shoes of  Peace.


And finally: Prayer (represented by an open bible).











Well that is that for today.

Until next time,
ACL.
