They Would Not Jitterbug!


Philosophers have argued for
centuries about how many
angels can dance on the head
of a pin, but materialists
have always known it depends
on whether they are
jitterbugging or dancing
cheek to cheek.

Tom Robbins



It was my intention to make some "looser, wilder" angels than I had created previously, and look what happened. I just finished these two angels, and, regardless of my intentions, they turned out true to my style. As much as I love bright color and admire "frou-frou" with some envy, it's still laying on my table. They definitely do not jitterbug!

All Kinds of Angels!

Laughter is a melody,
a concert from the heart,
a tickling by the angels,
creative living art.
(
Serene West)

"Wild Chicken Angel", created by Susan Hackbarth of Wisconsin, met a strange fate. Susan's 16 yr. old cat fell in love with him! While Susan and her company dined on turkey in the diningroom, the cat dined on wild chicken in the studio. We like to think that this Angel served nobly, bringing joy to the old cat, and, perhaps, also by blessing the discarded objects in the city dump.
