I've had to put my "jewelry making" on the back burner for a bit (but not for long). I still need to get back to my "day job", because I have ONE more show to go. I must say, that I enjoy this, but next year--easing up on the show circuit. I completely missed Fall this year---when we didn't have the gloomy days, the weather here was beautiful--at least I think it was--I couldn't really enjoy it, because I was too busy here to even get out.
Oh well--about the post, and what I've been doing. In keeping with the style of the Santa that I showed you here, and the Snowman that I showed you here, I made another angel--
I was struggling with her at first, but then I just listened to my own advice, and let her help me, and everything just came together--
I just love to use collage and lots of texture when I make pieces--even if I try not to. I guess you should do what appeals to you the most--right?
So in the end---it all came together--

This is fairly large--about 24 inches long, and no matter how many I took, I just didn't like the photos--but trust me---it's better in person. And right now, I'm working on another angel type--a little bit different medium. I really do enjoy making angels!

She is really beautiful. I love all the detail and the color is wonderful. I have never done an angel, but would love to try and you inspire me with yours.
Beautiful work Diane, love her wings and the embellishment with the word 'Angels' is gorgeous!!

She's got such a peaceful appearance, and is a real beauty. I love seeing all the details within your pieces, and love looking for every fragment of lace you've used in each of your works. Wishing you time to enjoy a bit of fall ... before winter rushes in.
Love, love her! Always enjoy all your embellishments on your pieces. Have an angel theme coming up here too. Must be the season:)
What an amazing piece. I'd say your angel lead you down the right path, this is so beautiful, beautiful colour choices.
She looks so beautiful and serene!! Love it!
I also love your jewellery & pendants that you shared in your previous post :)
She's beautiful!
I've been busy painting angels
(and being named Diane) too. ;)
Very nice Diane. She's beautiful. Your photos are great. The layers are just awesome. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
don't those struggles always end in beauty? love it!
She is beautiful Linda, so serene.
I love all your layers and textures...
Love your angel. And one more show - good luck and then relax right? Well maybe for just 15 minutes....
And it came together quite well, too! This entire assemblage is gorgeous. Your attention to detail is always fantastic. Super piece!
Your angel is stunning! I love all the embellishments you have added to her and the background is gorgeous!
Hi Diane! You are right, it came together perfectly! Your angel is beautiful and your design is just heavenly. Lovely work! :)
Stunning as always! I was surprised to discover you don't do holiday shows. Seems like some of the other blogs I read are just now gearing up while you are finishing up. I did holiday shows YEARS ago and enjoyed it but also have to admit it also makes you get pretty burnt on looking at all that Christmas! Sounds like you are planning to relax and enjoy the season!
How fantastic, and absolutely beautifull, Diane- she is so lovely, and surrounded with beauty all over,
happy week-end dear-
Hugs,Dorthe
Diane! This is gorgeous and I really love the metal embellishments and the texture!
The best book I ever bought to help myself with jewelry was Sharilyn Miller's "Bead on a Wire".
Best ever investment. Also, lots of pracrice to master wireworking. Hope that helps.
Thank you for always being so supportive.
I ADORE her! She is so sweet and serene!
Awww she gorgeous, I love the colour and tones in this one and the texture is lovely! I find that the best photos I take of my paintings are usually outside in natural light it seems to show up the colours much better :0) Lovely work!!!
yes, i think that when we listen to that inner artistic voice we tap into some great art....and it is definitely working for you!
keep on doing what calls to you!
do what you love and you'll love what you do!
ciao bella

She is truly beautiful! You have done an amazing job with her. The color palette is simply stunning - and she looks so peaceful. Great work, Diane!!!! Theresa
Wow! Just look at all of these lovely comments, and you deserve them all, Diane! What a beautiful angel!!!! Don't you just love it when the work "talks" to you during the process?!? Hugs, Terri xoxo
This angel is just gorgeous, so ethereal. I love all of the texture and different elements you have put together
Lee:)
She is lovely!!! I love all the texture you use!!
I am in awe of how much detail you add and how much work you put into each piece. Stunning!! :)
Diane, to ring the wing like that across her body is such a clever idea, you know how one gets a feeling they would never think of that, I don't think I would of thought of it. Her face the added embellishments and the color are just perfect, I think it would be a hard piece of work to part with.
Wonderful hair, so I go on and on just so you know, I mean it.
gorgeous! i love all the layers and textures and details. yes, my photos often don't capture a piece as well as i'd like them to.
i love angels too
& looove your
peace angel!!!
wingy love to you. xo
This is stunning Diane! The textures and colors are so gorgeous. Hope you are having a great week!
Hugs,
Robin

Hi Diane I love this piece it looks so vintage I love the coloring and all the antique embellishments beautiful! Sincerely Jonny
She is so beautiful! I was thinking about making angels and then I visited you~ I'll take that as a sign! Sorry you missed Fall's magic; There is still some time to
walk, kick some leaves, I hope~
Good luck on your show!
I love all the details of your work, every time you look you see something new~ Lovely!!!
Your angel is just exquisite and so peaceful. I love her! Your work is amazing, I think. Thanks for visiting my blog - I'm glad so I was reminded to come visit you too. What a treat!
Hi Diane, This Angel is just lovely~ I love it when you feel stuck and you just let it guide you along out of that feeling. Sometimes it takes a twist on what we thought we were creating but that is the amazing part. Thanks for stopping by~
I look forward to visiting again.
