Angels Background with Handmade Iris Paper Angels

This is the background I made yesterday, but I used handmade iris paper to make some angels to add to the background. I used matte medium to affix the angels onto the background.

Angels Background

For this one, I used matte medium to affix tissue paper to a heavy water color paper. I then wrote on the resulting background with a thin Sharpie marker and then used an acrylic wash over the whole thing.

This is a gesso tinted with acrylic background. Then I stamped into it with another color and a homemade "A" sponge stamp.

Handmade Paper/Mixed Media Angel

This angel is made out of handmade paper. First I made the background paper from iris and abaca fibers and dyed it blue. Then, I used cotton linter fiber for the rest of the angel and the cloud. Then I painted her face and halo and added her hair.

Purple Angels on a Gesso Background

I had a lot of fun making this one. I used gesso and acrylic and then I used my homemade angel stamp in the gesso and paint to make the angels.

Candy Decoration Angels

These angels were made for our Advent night at Shepherd of the Valley. We made them out of two peanut butter cups glued together. Then we used gold wire ribbon to make the wings and gold pompoms for their heads. I think they turned out too pretty to eat, so I am putting mine in my tree.

Angel Ornament

This is an angel ornament that was made by my grandmother for me when I was a little girl. My grandmother taught me a lot about art and I remember making many different projects with her growing up!
