Christmas Angel

Antoniya Petkova

This angel was designed by me as a Christmas present for my sisters boyfriends grandma. Its a very easy design and quick to make it only took one day together with designing and writing up the notes. It is a very elegant angel which looks good as a Christmas standing decoration and can also be hung on the tree. Warning: The bottom half of the body, where the bricks are, looks a little off, so the pattern may need fixing there.
