Angels is the Three Muses challenge this week – and as the weather is stopping us from going to work, etc., a little light cleaning and a fair bit of artplay is in order!
Angel is from Cherry Pie Artstamps and always looks so sad – hence “Angels weep for us…” The main angel is stamped onto a page torn from a Swedish dictionary. The page I chose has words like ‘immortal soul’, etc. as definitions, although I couldn’t actually find ‘angel’! The white images are foam stamps and the latin text is from MaVinci’s Reliquary.
The entire page is many layers of watercolour washes and glazes and a bit of Neocolours. No acrylics were harmed (or used) in the construction of this page!

Thanks for discribe your techniques. I always love the little black dots. (They look like a honeycomb.) I’ve searched often for brush that is quite simular but never found it.
A big aplause for your entry Rosie !!

/ January 6, 2010Rosie, your angel may be sad but your wonderful page is a celebration of your art which is just fantastic. I love the way you have “filled” the image of your angel with newsprint. In fact, I love everything about your scrumptious work.

/ January 6, 2010ah, poor little sad angel. Mine is sad too – she has a broken wing. It’s no wonder they cry when they see all the things we get up to…

/ January 7, 2010I really envy you for your artworks. I tried doing some arts like this but It’s not as good as yours. So I promise myself that I will just keep on visiting your blog to take a look at your art work.
It’s also nice that you have a concept on every art you do.
Keep up the good work!
