As you know, the phone makes me edgy, particularly business calls with a lot of hold time. So I took out my trusty angel book:
This time I chose the angel based on Hans Holbein’s 1539 painting of Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. Here you can see the front and back detail:
Here’s a detail of her wing, outlined and painted with glitter paints Tom gave me last year.
After I finished her, I was inspired to gather up all the gifts I’ve already accumulated to wrap them or put them in gift boxes. After all, Christmas is only six months away. Aren’t they playing holiday music in the stores already?
Love the glittery wings.
Don’t encourage them about the music; it starts earlier every year.
Thanks!
I don’t know why we don’t surrender and play it year long. In fact, maybe we should just change our name to the United States of Christmas.
She is gorgeous!
… and you are scarily organized.
O.o
Thanks!
…or at least that’s the impression I put forth on my blog. 😉
Next month is Ornament Premier at Hallmark 😉
Oh, that Hallmark, and all their fabulous ornaments. I’m SO LUCKY that Lynne is generous enough to give me new ones each year.
I will colour in and send back the angel you sent me a year ago. Honest.
Whenever she arrives, she’ll be a delightful surprise and will be welcomed by her sister angels.
