angel

So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

I have made this angel for Tatiana, a friend of mine .
And all because she is found of angels :-)
What we need for the angel:

Take the bottle and cut it 5cm under the narrow neck and at the beginning of the narrow neck; this will be the bottom part of the angel, meaning the clothe and part of the breast (till the hips).
Inflate the balloon and stick it to the bottle (maybe with some tape); the balloon will be the breast of the angel. A smaller ballon on the top of the previous one will be the head.
Cover with a couple of layer of paper / wadding.

Meanwhile you can start doing the wings, with some wire, giving the shape we want. To strengthen the wings take a pice of paper and cut it with the same shape of the wings and get it together with the wire.
Cover the wings with a couple of layers of wadding and paper, and also try to shape the wings so that can adapt to the back of the angel.

Put it all together: the head over the breast, the wings to the back.

Still we lack the arms and hands.
To get the arms, roll up a sheet of paper, and stick it to the body: opint near the wings, and the base in the frontal part.
Take a thin pasteboard and cut it like a hand, maybe with a little cut indicating separation between fingers.

Having put all together, all you have to do is cover the whole thing with another couple layers af wadding / toilet paper, covering mainly the wire, otherwise some border can scratch.

Paint it all! Head and wings in white, and body in azure, with blue and light-blue paintings. Maybe some gold paillettes for the buttons of the cloth, and on the borders of the sleeves.

Last but not least: the wings! Use some goose plumage, and take care since it's very voluminous; and also it's not so easy to stick it permanently on the wings.
