angels playing songs...

...of joy and gladness

continuing on my theme of angels... this little cherub was actually made by my great aunt vy... she lived in the city when i was growing up and we'd visit her and my uncle every so often - i know you're not supposed to have favorites - but she was one of mine... very old-fashioned but kind - caring and had an artistic side to her. aunt vy was very much into figurines and working with clay as well - she had a small kiln in the garage, able to fire what she made.

one year - angels were on her mind and she sent me a set of 3 she had made... they have been carefully protected treasures ever since - obviously of sentimenal value... this is one of them. for whatever reason - aunt vy chose not to paint the angels... leaving them in their natural form instead - basic white porcelain. i rather like them this way... believing it shows off the beauty of the work done by her; allowing me a wonderful memory every time i look upon them - making for...

a

happy day.....
