An Angel for an Angel

After seeing Cherry's vintage Christmas fairy, which was her mums it inspired me to make one for my daughter for her to keep for years to come.

I made the body from caleco and used vintage silk and lace hankerchiefs for the dress and wings, these were  given me from a great friend years ago. The trim was from odd bits of ribbons i had in my sewing box.

I used three different back grounds to display my fairy to see which one brought out the best picture, but as i like all three i have published them all.



Its amazing what you can do when you are inspired by other bloggers. Thanks Cherry.x
