Joy

It's been a long time since I collected angels. The first one was a ninety-nine cent department store special that I told my 6-year-old self was going to be a present for my Granddaddy. I'm almost 42, so you can guess how old that little plastic angel would look if I could find it now! I think I did give it to Granddaddy with lots of hints about how I ought to keep it for him. . .I don't remember, but I am pretty sure I ended up with it and kept it in my nightstand drawer. The last time I remember seeing it was , well, I don't know when. I do remember loving that "angel" is part of my name, and I do remember loving the shape of the robe that particular angel was wearing. My collection was never anything official, and I kind of gave up on it after angels became a popular thing sometime in the eighties. Still, angels occasionally call to my creative self; this time, it was the glass that needed to be made into an angel. Hope you like this one. JOY 2007 is written in stringer of ivory/amber/gray, and the rest of the glass is just plain ivory. Wings and halo are not melded to the glass, just wound on to a loop on the upper back and around a groove at the top of her head. Primitive, ancient, satisfying to make.

Thanks for stopping by to visit with AngelinaBeadalina! I'm really just plain ol' Angie or Ang, but the catchy name does suit me in the sense that I'm a motormouth who loves to play with words almost as much as I love to play with glass! You can find me here at BeadArtists.org, in my Etsy shop, or in my daily blog. You can get links to those places at www.angelinabeadalina.com (click on it above). Please pardon the use of my "official" website as a traffic control signal at the moment-- at least, that's what it makes me think of when I look at it. . . lots of directions to other places where there are updates on a daily basis. Tech-stuff would not be one of those things that I love or that comes naturally to me ;) Well, enough rambling for now, come on in, look around. . . have fun exploring my glass experiments and ideas. Peace, Ang
