It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas angels, especially when it comes to art and craft shows. The shoppers that come to these shows are usually always Christmas shopping no matter what the time of year is, and apparently all of the craft stores know this too. Geez, Summer isn't even over with yet, but when I walk into Michaels---it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
So when I decided to make some angels I knew that I wanted to make them in She-Art style--
....and then I made another one....
This time I added some different collage elements--
with the lace and pearls--I'm really liking how these dresses ended up.
Okay and a workshop to tell you about. Even though the next few months are my busiest of the year, I had no choice but to sign up for this workshop--

If you have every art supply out there and don't really know how to use them, then this is your workshop offered by Jane Davenport. She's going to teach us how to get the best results with different art mediums emphasizing on the face and also the body, which is even better. So this workshop was not an option for me--I had to sign up for it. And you can still sign up too--all of the details are HERE.
Okay, so what's the exciting news?? Well, a couple of days ago my son told my husband and I that FINALLY, FINALLY we are going to be grandparents!! Not only are we excited to have our very first grandchild, but my other kids are VERY excited that they are going to be Aunts and Uncles too! This certainly has been a year of unexpected happenings for us, and with the exception of losing Leo, all ending up to be good things!

Your angels are no surprise in their beauty and delicacy Diane...the addition of lace and pearls makes them stand out special.
Congratulations on becoming a Grandparent soon! You're going to loose your heart and mind to that little one :-)
Love these new angels and noticed the touches of lace and beading right off, really gives them an elegance. Love them.
Great news! I know... I've been a D-Ma for 5 years now Sept. 12! Your angels are absolutely gorgeous! I've never done people art (except art dolls, which weren't really human) because I'm so bad at painting faces... I love the skirt treatment and that their faces are left up to the imagination! Even I could do these! Though not nearly as lovely as yours...
Oh Big Congrats D! Definitely EXCITING! Exquisite angels and will check out the workshop:)

Congratulations!!!! How exciting!!! It is the best being a grandparent!! I have 2 grandsons. Its the best!
I love your girls. I love all the textures. Just Lovely!
Congratulations!! One of the best parts is watching your kids "parent" and seeing how their own upbringing influenced them when it comes time to do it themselves. All those years I was determined to watch Little House on the Prarie for the values it portrayed and then what did my son do but buy the episodes on DVD for his daughter. He got it!! Except for the part when his daughter became convinced they were going to become farmers - LOL!
