In The Potter's Hands


I am posting this painting on Christmas day, 2010 because it takes my thoughts to the call of this season - to simply be clay in the Master Potter's hands. He is the ultimate artist and He makes no junk! If we will only submit to His creative hands on our lives He will make something grand and beautiful out of the clay that we bring. Merry Christmas to everyone. May this painting call you, as it does me, to be at peace in the hands of the Potter.

  1. Hi Steve,
    May I have your permission to use this art for cover of my ebook, "In the Master's Hands," a collection of my Holy Scriptures-based essays, some of which were published by Philippine Panorama, which you may view at . This is a non-commercial ebook, I just want to compile my works and share with close friends. Of course I will place credit-- Art by Steve Abbot. Hope to hear from you. God bless.

  3. Hello Steve!

    In a search for a picture whitch would somehow fit with my preastly ordination motto from Ps 138: "Your love, Lord, endures forever — do not abandon the works of your hands", and this picture fits in perfect.

    May I have your permission to use this picture on a poster, and on a few things more. I will place credit on it if you let me.

    I have been looking for an appropriate image for the cover of a booklet called Moulded by the Master. It is the testimony of our Pastor Richard Garnham, of Moira Baptist Church, Northern Ireland. http://moirabaptist.org I have been involved in editing it and preparing it for printing. It will be a booklet for free distribution in our community.

    Is it possible you would grant us permission to use your image or purchase you image for such use? Of course I would ensure your image was properly credited etc. Thank you for your consideration. My contact is david@2hearts.org I was once Pastor of this church but now run my own voluntary ministry to those who suffer from major heart illness - hence the domain name.
    Thanks again and God bless you.

  6. Hi Steve, this is a beautiful photo and it captures perfectly the image I would like to use in a video for a upcoming Sunday message at our church. May I have your permission to use your image for this purpose? This is for our ministry use only and not for selling purposes.

  11. You have a number of requests to use this image. Here's one more. I want to make a sign which I can't claim as my own initial idea. It simply reads, "Please be patient with me. God isn't done with me yet." I saw that quip 20 or 30 years ago, and now in my 70's it's ever new. I would love to include this image. Is it for purchase, or what?

  12. PS, when I've finished the sign, I want to use it on my desktop, and share it at no cost with friends. You my appreciate this; I am an adult A.D.D. and there are times when folks really need to be patient with me, or just walk away.

  18. Hi Steve,
    Calvary Chapel Golden Springs in Diamond Bar, CA is having our annual women's retreat on "The Work of His Hands." We would like to use this image for our women's artwork coming up in January. Where can I purchase a print? We need the image to be at least 1920 x 1080 pixels or an 8 x 10 print. We don't mind purchasing if we can find it. You are truly gifted. It is perfect. Please help. God bless you. We would be glad to give you all the credit. My email is marcellar@calvarygs.org. I went on ebay and other sites but couldn't find it.
