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...

Icons

Once again I am distracted with angels and twinkly stars..

It must be that time of year...

I got my sweetheart to make the wooden frames which are a triumph I might add.

Real gold leaf and anything that sparkles in candlelight.

These gentle ladies are almost finished.. 

And will be available soon..

I should be doing a thousand other things but..

Christmas angels were calling.. 

Some chose dresses and some wanted coats.. 'it's cold this time of year' they said. 

With shoes and boots painted, some chose stripey tights.. Busy, busy, busy.. 

Candles,stars and hearts, some called 'I have letters to post'...

Then they all chorused.. 'We need crowns'.. 'Golden crowns please'.

Full colour next update..
