CHRISTMAS  2011  STOCKING, part 4

In my mind, I picture my angel in the dark blue of the night. I go to my Christmas fabrics and pull a very nice blue. Then I stack some greens on it to get the effect.

The poinsettia print on the blue will be lost. The blue kills the greens. Pull more fabric from the drawer.

Red with a funny almost plaid in silver. Very festive. It loves the greens! It will not dominate because the angel will cover most of it.

CHRISTMAS  2011  STOCKING, part 1

It is time for Christmas Stockings.

I drew a shape on some brown paper that apparently comes in rolls perforated like paper towels.  It is used to wad up and protect items in shipping.  I rescued mine from the household recycling box. I have tons of it.  I drew several stocking shapes and then I began planning some things to put on them. I have an idea on hold that just will not make it this time because I am captivated by the idea of an angel putting a star on top of a Christmas tree.
