Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

I do suffer for my Art.....


I had to empty a bottle of Otard to make my Angel


Dismantled a spare magnifying glass thingamajig for this one
Why???



Because you can see things much more clearly when you have your Angel by you side


I used some real copper for her wings, which when you heat it turns into a multitude of beautiful colours


which I tried to echo on the bottle


and finally a heart I carved out of soapstone
Its quite big because of course Angels have big hearts
