Winged Guardian

Description

Warrior Angels or Winged Guardians?

Following on from my fascination with Angels, I have made a group of winged beings, that I feel are like warrior angels and guardians.
They started as an exploration with a new technique and as always with these things, inspiration just flowed and here they are!
I was tempted to give them names but I think that should be the privilege of the person that each one belongs too.

Lavishly hand beaded with striking features machine and hand embroidered without the shield of my other dolls and with an elaborate head-dress, this figure looks dramatic standing on a shelf or just as easily, could be hung on a door as a door guardian.
These dolls are entirely made by me, I use the needle on my sewing machine to 'draw' the faces with thread and everyting is done by me, by hand, stuffing, beading etc.

Lavishly hand beaded with striking features machine and hand embroidered and with an elaborate head-dress, this guardian has a beautiful calm expression, a girdle of silver colored beads and a heart of mother of pearl.
Measures:28x14cm (width is from tips of hands)
Made from cotton with a non allergic filler, the backing is a pretty patterned cotton also.

This guardian comes with a little handmade tag so that you know it's an authentic 7thMagpie creation!

Thank you for looking!
