The 2013 angel ornaments are now ready for purchase. This year I am offering 4 unique styles totaling 200 whimsical handmade ornaments. I started production in September and finished this last week of October 28th. The process is both challenging and fun as I work from drawing the designs, cutting the wood, painting the image and then applying the final coats of varnish. Two of the four angels are made of partial copper. The wings of the Blue Angel of Peace have been heated at a high temperature to give the wings an orange, blue,white or pink cast on the copper. The Orange Trumpeting Angel wings have a highly textured blue patina on them. These were created by placing the wings in a ammonia bath for 24 hours. The All copper Angel with blue patina is 100% heavy gauge copper. The Gloria in Excelsis Deo Angel does not have copper wings but have wings that have been collaged with the sheet music, Angels We Have Heard On High and then an antique wash was applied giving them a rustic old world charm.
This is the 6th year that I have created these whimsical handmade ornaments for the Christmas season. Each year the designs are different from the previous years making them a unique collectors item. Because each ornament is hand painted no two ornaments are exactly alike. There are subtle differences in facial expression and color tones. Many of my returning customers purchase them as holiday gifts for teachers, friends, family or employees. You can purchase them at my website under the menu heading Available Works / Christmas Ornaments or by clicking Here.
Order early while quantities last. Please contact me by clicking Here if you have any questions concerning an order.
As always thank you for your support and encouragement and I hope the 2013 holiday season is filled with peace as you gather with family and friends in celebration.
