Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Another angel! This time, the silhouette of one of the angels on a cute little candle decoration we have; my mother bought it in Germany. You light the candle and the heat rising from it sends several little angels spinning around above it. No doubt further pictures will follow because it cries out for photography (at the same time as it sets something of a challenge....)

P.S. Happy New Year! Hurrah for my first post of 2012. I think this is a suitably chirpy start to the year.

Crystal Angel

Photograph of a crystal angel which my family was given as a Christmas present last year. We were actually kind of anxious about putting it on our tree this year because it's kind of precious and breakable, but it seems silly to have a beautiful decoration but never display it, so up she went after a suitably stable branch had been selected.

The photo makes the angel look rather massive, but it's actually teeny. And difficult to photograph...
