No, not the Whedon character; from Christianity and stuff.



An angel, commissioned by my grandmother for a friend of hers who's dying of cancer. I sent her off with a few days to spare, but Grandma ended up not caring for the wings, so I had to rush make a few new sets for her to choose from to replace the ones seen in the pictures. I was unable to do it in person, as I might've liked, since Grandma's in Texas and I'm in Iowa :P In the end, we had to get the new wings Fed-Exed, since I finished them in close proximity to Veterans Day and the USPS was closed ^^a We did get them there on time for Grandma's friend's birthday, though, and the angel was well received :)

The original wings are felt with acrylic paint. Her halo and harp are semi-sparkly pipe cleaner; there's also bits of thread on the harp that I attached with (relatively cool) hot glue. The harp itself was definitely an afterthought, which I made after Mom made an off-hand comment about including one. (I had some leftover pipe cleaner from the halo and it was a decent idea! I have no reason to feel defensive about this! [/crafterthoughts])
