Margaret of We Bloom Here hosted a swap of little angels and has connected bloggers from all over the world. You can see all the beautiful hand created angels right here.
Here is what I made for my partners (most of whom live in Australia).
It's funny how these little angels all started out to be the same, but as I individually hand-stitched each one, they seemed to take on their own personalities. I guess this is just how it is when creating a doll.
Each one is stitched from white wool and vintage trim embellishments and beads. Each is holding something unique in their hand or arms: a cluster of bells, a mother-of-pearl star, a vintage stamen bundle and an acorn bird nest with eggs.
I've already received two lovely angels and will be sure to post them once they all arrive.
(Thank you Margaret!)
