Here's the last leg, or perhaps I should say wing, of my host of angels for my swap.
Shown on my desk for the weekly dose of WOYWW... a real tonic prescribed for crafters and snoopers by dear Dr Julia to cheer us up each week.
Here they are, all 16 ready and waiting to wing their flight o'er all the Earth. I've purposely taken a poor photo so they aren't too clear but no one in the swap will know which one they will draw/receive.
Most swappers are making two and I will announce the draw of where to send No2 as soon as the last couple of people email me with addresses and let me know if they will be making 1 or 2.
Now that Caro has safely received her Box of Bits & Bobs Blog Candy prize, I can show the bag bling gift I made for her and sent along with her little parcel. The 2 sides were stamped onto card, coloured, then stuck together and sandwiched between two clear "Fragments"using Glossy Accents as the adhesive. I also laid a couple of double strands of fishing line through the middle, making a loop at the top and leaving long ends onto which beads and charms were threaded to dangle on the bottom.
The edges can be coloured with Krylon metallic pen but I attached adhesive metal tape to mine.
This is a nice, quick and easy, useful gift to make... have a go!
The face stamp was a freebie in Craft Stamper a while ago and the quote is from a plate of small Tim Holtz clear stamps.
What a short post for me!! There's more to come maybe tomorrow!

LOVE those angels! I was doing a ridiculous happy dance yesterday when your parcel finally arrived. Thank you so much, I could not believe how much was in there. Everything is fantastic, but your handmade gift? That is truly a piece of art that I am going to wear with so much pride. I can just imagine my friends asking 'Oooh! that is amazing! Where did you get it?" Can't wait to tell them with a smug smile that it was my friend from England that made it for me. LOL I feel so grand thinking 'my friend from England', but I feel like we really are friends. Thank you so much for your comment on my blog too. I really needed some good thoughts and prayers that day.
Hugs from South Africa

Love the pile of angels - is that a collective noun? Can't wait to see which one comes winging my way. Have made one and will start the other today (your blog post still shows me down for one though).
Happy WOYWW

I ADORE the bag bling!! Just like I love the one that is currently adorning my handbag now.
Sorry if I've shown too much detail of my angel construction today, always putting my size 8s in it....sigh....ah well...
And I loved the photos from the lino print workshop - they are stunning. I always hated doing that at school but it's moved on a bit since then. Your dragonflies are gorgeous!
Hugs, LLJ #68 xx
Love that not all your angels are white ....cos mine aren't either :-)
It's such a lovely way of spreading a bit of love for Christmas Jo so thanks for organising it.
Hugs,

What a fab project, I love your little angels, lucky swappers!
great looking angels! I need to sit down and make mine soon cause I will be going on a cruise starting the 29th Nov. Love the bag bling! Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Vickie #63
You've been so busy Jo! Wow those angels are fab. And your charms are stunning. No desk from me today, am sorting my stash and packing ready for another crafty meet. This time I'm meeting up with my fellow Crafty Boots DT on Saturday, but me and my friend Debs are making a weekend of it, going Friday coming home Sunday. Much more agreeable for me, health-wise, as I can rest up Friday evening ahead of the crafty day Saturday. But I wanted to pop by and say hello anyway and of course have a nose at your desk!! Take care Zo xx
Angels are looking good! The little gift for Caro is beautiful - I love all the beads!! x Jo
Oh Jo you are like those fast forward films - one day you show these "naked" angels next day they are colored and all dressed up - you are supercraftwomen! I just love your enthusiasm I hope some of it rubs off on me! The bag bling is lovely too and using that fishing line is an idea that should be patented! Clever clogs!
Lots of hugs and love

What a lovely host of angels!
I love the bag bling too.
You are so verstile, and always so busy. It is inspiring to read your blog. I just wish I was better at managing my time, so I could have a go at more things.

Happy WOYWW. Fab angels - can't wait to see which one arrives in Pembrokeshire. I have an idea for at least part of mine, but involves using a product new to me, so will be experimenting tomorrow! Gorgeous Bag Bling - I may attempt one eventually. Ali x #71
What an amazing selection of angels ....they are gorgeous ...didn't woyww again ....so disorganized. xx
I loved my gift bling...it is hanging at the back of my desk as you will see in my post! Beautiful and thank you once again. Those angels are stunning...I am sad that I wont have time to join in. Thanks for sharing. Caro #89
I'm loving your angels! Glad to see that Caro liked her gift - it's beautiful! Have sent you an e-mail, please let me know if you don't get it! Chrisx
How you have time to make all those angles is beyond me - you are a human dynamo Jo. Hope you had a good day - I have been having problems with the internet so am playing catch up.
Great angels, great bling.
Hugs, Neet xx
LOVE those angels, they are awesome!! And the the extra bit of bling you made is charming, and would look so good on my key chain! lol oh well ;)waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Fab angels! What a cool and clever gift! Lucky Caro! Happy WOYWW! Nan 103
Love the angels! They are adorable x Laura #116
You have been a very busy angel maker I see. Shouldn't think they can be made quickly as they look quite detailed. I have contemplated doing angels as one of my choc bar covers but never seem to be able to get the wings right. I will keep on trying for next year.
