PPF Christmas Angel

Happy PPF!
This is my mixed media Christmas angel.
I love doing my angels on hymnal pages,
book pages, or watercolor paper.
I usually add acrylics, and also quotes
that I print out on paper.
I use stencils quite often in the background.
She is a full size watercolor sheet.
I named it,
To Live in this World...

From Mary Olivers quote,
"To live in this world,
you must be able to do three things:
 to love what is mortal
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it
and
when the time comes
 to let it go,
 to let it go."

Savor the Day!

Angel Quotes

I made these little wooden angels many years ago. They are getting pretty worn and their hair looks like they just woke up and are still little sleepyheads. Every year it seems I have to replace what they are holding. So this year they are holding nature items sent from friends. I truly believe in angels and wanted to share some of my favorite angel quotes with you.

Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.---Lydia M. Child

Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.
--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "Evangeline"
Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. --Carrie Latet

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it.
Happy holidays to all, however you celebrate the season.
I wish you all PEACE!
