Is there a reason angels are always digitized as frilly and feminine instead of masculin and strong ?

I asked my son what the angel he saw looked like & he said a mans voice in a white form !!!Hes now 36 & still said the same but what was important was that when that angel touched him after telling him not to be afraid of him .He was healed & still is to this very day .He had bad allergies.Praise God!!carolyn

WOW!! The Bible says that angels are ministering spirits and I believe God sends them for healing too.(in Jesus name of course) And always in the bible the first things angels say is ..fear not ! Isnt that sweet ? This has sure sparked some wonderful conversation !

Well personally I would love to think Angels were like David Boreanaz, he could watch over me any day!

Or John Travolta in his role of Archangel Michael, I loved him in that. yummy!

The problem is that graphic artists don't seem to draw them as males and most digitisers need clipart to work from.

You find me a picture of a male angel with permission to use the artwork and I'll digitise it!

I don't think the Bible says anything about wings, either, does it? What about harps? Maybe...... the angels look like our DHs??? HE hehehhehhe - naw

I have come across a few - but very few.

Sounds like you thought up a digitizer job!

I've wondered the same thing. The angels in the Bible are workers, not frilly, feminine, sittling on clouds type of figures. But I gues they would not be pretty to embroider.

With the emphasis on the ugly skull stuff ,In Philippines they were night of the dead symbil,death! I think the male angels watching over us and bringing messages would be wonderful .Thanks for the input .

I think a cute little boy with wings holding a baseball, football, toy, etc. reflecting a particular subject would be adorable on items. One holding a banner with wording for a memorable cause would be great for keepsake items. We most definitely need little boy angels, too!

I just saw a boy angel with a baseball bat and it was really cute. It was on the freebie page. Under Sewmom

I have seen some and have a few but they are not as pretty as the females so this may be the reason, but for a baby quilt for a little boy, it would be very nice to have some little boy angels....because at this age they are all little angels....
Digitizers: Little boy angels are needed badly.....

Perhaps, there is no such thing as a "male" angel, huh?????? LOL
Just joking!!
