My Guardian Angel

Angels designed by Naked Heart Design were born when we were snowed in November 2010. Inspiration came from a packet of old fashioned, wooden dolly pegs that I found in my art materials cupboard. I am a great believer in recycling, re-using and re-vamping so I had plenty of remnants of materials, driftwood, ribbons, old Christmas and birthday cards and string just waiting to be made into something beautiful.

I made the first few for pleasure and to pass the time with my young daughter whose school was closed because of the bad weather but soon enough a neighbour saw them and in no time I had orders coming in from friends of friends of friends. I call the Angels "Mo Aingeal Coimhdeachta", (My Guardian Angel).

Each angel is handmade and unique, there are no two quite the same. Some angels have faces and some do not. Children like to draw a face on their own angel, some adults prefer the angels not to have a face at all! There are Angels made especially for use as Christmas decorations and others that are just right for hanging up in the kitchen, the car, at the bedside, in the hall, anywhere..

Enjoy yours!

Mo Aingeal Coimhdeachta

Mo Aingeal Coimhdeachta Rugach na haingeal, deartha ag Naked Heart Design aráis i mhí Samhain 2010 nuair a thit an sneachta troim. Tháinig an inspóroid ó sean paicead pionnaí adhmad a fuair mé i mo chofra ealáin. Creidim i athchúrsail, athusáid, athchoiriú de bharr seo bhí a lán ábhar agam, téad, ribíní, sean carta Nollaig agus sean carta Breithlá freisin.

Rinne mé na chead cúpla cinn i gcorr pléisiúr le mo iníon bheag. Bhí a scoil dunta mar gheall ar an sneachta, ach tar éis tamall chonaic chorsan iad i cúpla lá bhí cairde de cairde ag lorg iad.Thug mé an anim 'Mo Aingeal Comhdeachta' dóibh.

Tá gach aingeal lamhdeanta. Ní fheachan aon aingeal mar a cheile. Tá aghaidh ag cúpla, níl ag cinn eile. Is maith le páisti a aghaidh féin a tharraingt. Rinne mé cúpla aingeal i gcorr Nollaig agus cinn eile atá iontach i gcorr an cistin, an carr nó thaobh den leaba, aon ait ar corr ar bith. Bain taithneamh astu!
