| I've finished two angels. I took lots of pictures as they twirled in the currents of air......trying to capture their energy.... but of course, that was impossible. It is the essence that I love, and I can't seem to translate that into a picture. |
 |
| They are quite "encrusted".....by that I mean that there are lots of layers of texture. The body is sculpted out of apoxie clay then painted white. I applied pieces of a antique wedding veil over the arms and legs, randomly, and over the face to add a certain mystery or other worldliness. Over that a layer of crackle glaze so when I applied the antiquing, there appears tiny cracks and more texture. Over that....splashes of gold paint. |
 |
| The fabric used for the dress is an antique veil of netting and handmade lace. So beautiful. It has been touched with gold paint to add more texture. |
 |
| From their fingers hangs a long gold thread with 3 tiny silver bells.... |
 |
| Swarovski rhinestones are placed along the edge of each wing and on the tip of each hand.... |
 |
| The wings are made with handwritten French journal pages from 1882....stiffened with a sealer. |
 |
| Now to try and figure out how to open my Etsy shoppe. |

They, like everything you do, are wonderful. I will keep my eyes open for your Etsy shop.
I just went to your shop ... they truly are amazing and wonderful - I too would love to have them hanging over me as I work :)
Well done on opening your store, I'm sure they will sell quickly - they are exquisite!
