Angels























The last few days I have been working on these angels. They are acrylic on canvas.  I quite like the cake angel and might have this one as a print and cards.  I am building up a small range of my own cards that at the moment I sell to galleries but soon they will be on my etsy shop.  Yes I know, I have had the etsy shop coming soon notice on this blog for ages but Ive only got to work out all the postages and I can start listing stuff, must get my **** in gear and get that done soon!






















I thought this one would make a nice christmas card and tags maybe.  I am going to do a few more angels for the V&H fair so my stand looks quite festive.                     



































We went to Polperro yesterday and Im afraid to say that we were a bit disappointed with the place, so we stopped at Lostwithiel on the way home. It is a sweet little town and one of the few places in Cornwall that you can find antique shops.  My favourite is one called Deja-vu, they always have lovely stuff in there. At the moment I have fallen in love with a dresser that would be perfect for our front kitchen.  Will have to review the dwindling finances and see if we can justify spending quite a lot of money!  Im hoping that the owner might be interested in some of our stuff we need to get rid of and do a part exchange.  Well while I was in there I spotted these lovely animals on wheels and the bunny who sits just right in the toy chair I found in Christine's last year.  I will be using the animals in some assemblages although Im not sure if I will be able to part with the little cat!

I love the angels & am looking forward to seeing them in person at the fair! I doubt I'll make any money as I'll spend it all on the lovely things being brought along.

P.s I remember Lostwithiel well. My mother had various antique shop en route to our holiday home in Cornwall and we always stopped at a lovely antiques shop in Lostwithiel. My mother bought a gorgeous antique snow globe..many years ago. I wonder what happened to it!?

Hi Jane,
So nice of you to visit. I won't be at the fair I'm afraid....too far! But have fun.
I am very smitten with your pull-along animals; didn't we all have one of them when we were little? If they need a good home, let me know!
Lovely blog. Deb x
