Angels We Have Heard On High...

 


These fun wooden ornaments are the result of an online class titled "Angels Among Us" taught by P'zazz Art Studio on Facebook. In just three hour-long evening classes, participants learned to draw and paint cute angel designs on an ornament, a greeting card, and a journal page. One lesson also covered the lettering, which is a specialty of the instructor.  


A few special techniques included the gold metallic highlights and the use of molding paste to create texture on the angel wings. 


Participants could make changes in hair styles, and some even drew and painted male-looking angels which are more reflective of Biblical descriptions of angels.


And on the backs of each ornament, we wrote a message in white acrylic marker. I chose The Priestly Blessing from Scripture. The replays of the lessons are available continuously, so I can practice and repeat the painting skills as often as needed. I'm never a fan of my writing, so did appreciate the lettering instruction, especially. These make lovely hand-crafted Christmas greetings and I'm sure I'll be making more. Christmas blessings to you!

I'm only posting once a week (for T Tuesday), but saw this and had to stop by. What a great class that must have been and I love your scripture.

Nancy, these ornaments are wonderful! What a keepsake for you or to pass on to family members! God's presence is reflected in this verse for sure. Happy Holidays and the best to you and your family for 2024!

Really nice, Nancy! You made yours so beautifully, and of course I love that you put Scripture on the back. It's marvelous how often you utilize virtual lessons to learn and try new things. I admire that you're interested, and you make lovely things.
