Here is the angel all blocked in. Now I have to trace all the strokework and flowers on and start to paint those.

For the strokework pattern, I just trace lines for directions of the strokes and the brush and paint does the strokework. Most of the florals are also strokwork, where the brush is loaded with a couple colors and applied. I will post as I go along and try to show some of it.

None of Joyce's patterns are available that I know of, unless you can find someone willing to sell some on ebay. Sometimes you can find her book with this angle in it and it sells for around 50.00 but keep checking, you never know.....

Yes I will hang it unless it is sold. I am doing a little craft show in December. I will watch out for you for a pattern. Pm me so I have your information to contact you when I do.

I just finished the Wall Angel. This is the painted stage. After 24 hours, it will get a coat glazing medium, that has to dry and then, I will antique it and flyspeck it. I will use black and white for the specking and will post another pic.

Flyspecking brings the open areas together.

Rosy, I missed your posts about the pattern! Thank you so much. I don't know if I'll still be in time to bid for it on E-bay but I'll give it a go.
Your angel is looking so beautiful! What lovely work you do. I will watch to see it finished.

A beautiful piece. I was fortunate to know Joyce. She was a charming lady and so talented. I have her books, tons of patterns and even some free hand drawings of hers. I have a few of the patterns from (I believe it was) Crafts and Things. I have recently cleaned out tons of painting books as my interests have changed, but not any of Joyce's books.
Thanks for sharing - Paula
