Birthstone angels for our grand daughters. Design is from sonia showalter site. Stitched out beautiful. This is Mar, Sept, Aug & April. As April is a diamond, it was hard to show the detail in all white. So used lt blue under it, but now it doesn't look like a diamond! Oh well, it's for the youngest & she won't mind! The Sept is actually much darker blue, as in a sapphire, but the flash sorta washed it out.

Was thinking about the cream...but I do the face & wings in cream so they contrasted from the usually white dresses. But may try one with the darker cream?

27028They are all delightful! I've noticed that you placed a coloured crystal in each one and the light blue angel is perfect for the white crystal to stand out. I love all of them, well done.
Hugs, Lidia

Thank you! I am going to try one in all white, but you loose the detail that way. If there weren't so many stitches & thick, I'd try a silver metalic, but don't have the patience to do it!

How lovely they are.
(I clicked onto the picture & clicked again on the individual angel - they look exceptional).

Thanks! I didn't realize how the detail on the skirt was until I stitched it out! Very pleased with her files.
