A friend asked me to make an angel for her to give as a gift. Here is the
Santos Angel
I made for her using several pieces from
Most Santos Dolls are simple in an elegant design. I tried to keep this one in line with that idea.
I used a
hanging from a chain in the middle with various stampings only to decorate the base of the
The beautiful Santos Art Doll Paper Cut was perfect for the face of the Angel.
The Wings and Sunburst Halo were painted with Metallic Gold, Silver and Copper paints and highlighted with Patinas. The blue paints from PaperArtsy are Fresco Acrylic Paints.
The stamps on the bodice and arms are from
I added permanent brown inks to the cross and highlighted with Turquoise Inka Gold.
The stamp on the legs is from Finnabair's collection Net and Wire...which I LOVE! The base stamp is from Trust the Magic.
I hope she likes her present. It's the first piece I've done on commission so I'm invested in this one.
