I'm taking a metalsmithing class, and so I was inspired to add some metal embellishments into one of my paintings. I had some scrap brass already, and I bought a jewelery saw this week, so I cut out these delicate little wings. I didn't think glue, or gloss gel would adhere the wings well enough, so I 'stitched' them on with copper wire...
I'm so happy with the results and am thinking of ways to embellish my embellishments (stamped letters? etching?)

thanks to chrissie grace's blog, I too am blessed by your blog. these metal wings are fab. they remind me of the wind up mechanism on angels that then spin around. I love the way you fixed them on.
I love the wings! What a beautiful piece. Jamie Mervine
