Calling All Angels



My carved wooden angel  is praying or in 
deep contemplation.




When I saw this picture in an old issue  of
Southern Living Magazine (2001),  
 my thought was I could use it for inspiration. 



My angel is carved wood  (note the different variations in the wood grain)  and from toe to crown measures about 24-inches, 
and of course is not in the same pose as the inspiration picture, but  still conveys the same spirit  of praying.


Everything was on hand, the angel, 
the greens, the berry crown.


When I  switched the angle of the camera, 
there was a hint on stained glass in the background which made 
a  nice alternate image.




The angel is one of three wooden 
carved angels shown in  an upcoming 
mantel post.


Until next time, Honey

  3. Oh goodness, when I saw your post title on my blog sidebar, I thought you needed help with something, "Calling All Angels." And I came over to say I'm no angel but I'll help in any way I can. :) However, your angel is just beautiful, love the contemplative look, so right for this time of year.

    Hugs,
    Mary

  13. Hi Honey! Can you believe I have the Southern Living picture saved in my inspiration file. There has always been something I loved about the angel. Your wood angel is beautiful and rivals the one in the magazine.
