…who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering to fly.”
I started a new job on Monday and worked a very long day…very little energy for anything else. So this entry is from 2009 ”Angel in the House” altered book. Many layers used, angel looking down is a rubber stamp on velum, Artchix images (house with key-I added bindi), picture of my dad in the 40′s next to car, outdoor scene from a vintage needle case, and ticket stub stickers used to frame the bottom of the page.

A state of grace: humility, peacefulness, wise knowing. This piece was inspired by my friend Kathleen. Images employed by Artchix (columns, arch, woman in hat) , silver letters spaced with rhinestones and all backed with store purchased hand made paper.
It is not very often that I LOVE a piece I create…I LOVE this one!
