Valentine Angel Box Class in Menlo Park!
Today I had a lovely pre-Valentine class making 'Valentine Angel Boxes' in Menlo Park! As you can see from the photos it was a creative group of ladies! The base is a German paper mache ball (it opens in the center) on top of a 'wood candlestick' from Michaels. I had them make cotton-batting bodies for the angels and then I had pre-cast fimo heads (from an Italian hand-carved angel I own) which we colored with chalks. They were dressed in appropriate red and white papers, trim, glitter and floral lovelies... Each angel has wings, of course... and a few added accessories like umbrellas and heart wands. It was a truly heart-filled wonderful day!!!
magnificent

Oh my Ulla what a fab idea again! You have the greatest imagination! I have never heard of papermache balls that open in the center, although they are supposed to be German again lol but I so want one! Yes I'm with Linda here, a kit, something for Easter would be wonderful! I also love the idea of putting glitter on a little icecream paper umbrella :D

They are so pretty and I like the idea that they are somewhat concealing a place to hide a treasure.
Do you have a spring schedule for classes at the Castle or even at your studio? I need to plan ahead :-)

Beautiful Angels! So creative and inventive Ulla. Looks like you all had fun.
The one with the green leaves and the red hat particularly speaks to
me.
