GUARDIAN ANGEL
A FIGURATIVE PIECE WORKED IN POLYMER CLAY.
HIGHLY DETAILED,ALL HAND SCULPTED WITH VARIOUS TOOLS AND MY FINGERS.
I WAS INSPIRED TO CREATE THIS FIGURE TO HANG
IN MY MOTHER'S HOME IN MY ABSENCE.
I TOLD HER IT WAS TO REMIND HER NOT TO GO WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD. SHE HAD JUST HAD HIP SURGERY, AND I HATED TO LEAVE HER, EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS IN VERY CAPABLE HANDS.
ANGELINE IS INTRICATE, AND VERY DETAILED, WITH A GOLD WIRE HALO, AND A HANGING WIRE ON THE BACK, BOTH IMBEDDED INTO THE CLAY.
SHE HAS BEEN GLAZED TWICE TO GIVE AN ANTIQUED PRIMITIVE LOOK, AND SEALED FOR PROTECTION.
SINCE MAKING HER FOR MY MOM, I HAVE DONE SEVERAL OTHERS AS GIFTS FOR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, WITH NO TWO ALIKE.
THIS ONE HANGS IN MY STUDIO, TO REMIND ME TO ALWAYS EXPECT MIRACLES, WHICH WE RECEIVE EVERY DAY,,,,,,IF WE ONLY RECOGNIZE THEM!
I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED ANGELINE, AND THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK!
