Santos Angel Renovation

Adding wings to eyes to add to wings

The Santos as purchased

I purchased this awesome Santos Angel at a local craft/antique mall.  It is a reproduction, but I loved it, and knew I wanted to do more to it as soon as I saw it!  So following are photos of when I first brought it home, and some of the things I've done to renovate it more.  I will be adding more things to the skirt as time goes on... stay tuned!

Partially done enhancing the wings,
with winged eyeballs, and moss, bark,
and small stones.

Added some rosaries.

The reason I added eyes to the wings comes from a scripture verse from

Added part of a
stained glass piece with
a peacock feather embedded
inside it, as a breastplate.
And a keyhole to the skirt.

the Book of Revelation 4:6-8, "Around the throne, and on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with a face like a human face, and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle.  And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and inside. Day and night without ceasing they sing,

“Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.”

Spirit in the Sky

Back of the assemblage.

This was an assemblage I made for the Winter Art Show/Sale at Gallery 223, Lake Geneva, WI.

I brought it in on Monday, November 18th, and it sold within 3 hours!

It is meant to sit on a table or shelf, which is the reason for the back design on it, it stabilizes more so it won't tip over.

Icon Workshop - The Holy Face of Christ

 Christ Episcopal Church, Delavan, WI hosted a wonderful day of learning about Icons and a beginners course in creating one. Christ Church is celebrating their 175 anniversary, and so the Holy Face of Christ seemed to fit. The workshop led by Alice Pollock, gave us just a taste of what creating an icon is about.

Most icons take weeks or months to finish, we were blessed by Alice's expertise and interesting explanations into what creating an icon is all about. HIGHLY recommend doing this, and I am not at all a painter, but loved this workshop!
