Christmas angels everywhere...

Dare I say it?

It's that time of year again.. 

  I have been making papier mache Christmas angels..

As lot's more one of a kind papier mache brooches. 

You can just get a peek at the top of this photo.. 

Brooches will be going up in my bigcartel shop this weekend.

Angels Wings...

Looking at medieval church angels gave me inspiration... 

What started off with a simple idea... 

I then got carried away and made them much larger than I intended..

Phew! 

I should have made them in the summer when papier mache dries out much quicker...

China teacups, Stormy sea's and the wind blows..

The pieces are coming together.. The china teacups have been decorated.

The stormy sea's have been painted..

The frame... Before crackle...

After crackle..

Paper cups, stormy weather... Diorama

 Not a lot to write about at the moment, just playing with ideas..

 Not sure where this is going.

 but have a lot of ideas swirling around in my head..

'Iconic women'.. 'Female icons'...

A few weeks ago a young lady brought two of my brooches. 

She has some dexterity problems and is not able to attach them herself and she asked me if I ever made necklaces as they would be easier for her to wear.. 

So I gave it a try.. And here are the first results.. 

On Saturday I was wearing one and a young guy came up to me and said... 

'' I love that icon necklace your wearing lady''.. 

So the design name was found just that I'm not sure whether to call them 

'Iconic women' or 'Female icons'.. Decisions decisions...
