Angels All Around

Lately I've had fun trying to capture the mysterious and understated way that life meets God.  He created all living things and angels are among these things.  Angels are mysterious but the are not God. They exist in ways that we don't and yet experience life.  God has given angels certain roles and responsibilities as the Bible teaches.  

One of my favorite pictures of angels comes from Psalm 34:7

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him

  

I've created these mysteriously formed angels to remind me of this.  I have mine right by a doorway where I can regularly see and remember.

They are small, around 8"x 4" on rough stained wood.  The paint is acrylic with some textured additions covered in resin.  

I am opening up the studio this summer and would love for you to have one too! I'd be happy to make one for you. 

Hopefully there will be more creations this summer so stay tuned!

Blessings
Randi


P.S.
Here are other verses from the Bible pertaining to the life of Angels.  This is just a small sampling of Scripture passages...there is so much more but I thought I'd leave a little something for those of you who are interested in angels.

"...while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" Job 38:8
"For He will command His angels concerning you to guard in all your ways;" Psalm 91:11
"Praise Him all His angels; praise Him all His heavenly hosts."  Psalm 148:2
"The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous."  Matthew 13:49
"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" Hebrews 1:14

Prayer Flags

I've seen pictures of Tibetan Prayer flags through the years and I've always been intrigued by the thought of this concept. Flags that fly in everyday places and spaces that represent the hearts cry of a particular group of people or individual.


I believe in prayer and I'm a praying person...so I decided to make some prayer flags of my own.  Taking vintage fabrics and scraps along with a little of this and that I have my own flags flying in a garden outside my door, although you can hang them anywhere.  


I chose a garden because it's the place where I watch life grow.  I want my life to grow too.  Although the flags will be weathered by the elements I like the idea that they still stand in spite of it all. Prayer helps me to do this, stand in spite of it all.


 I've strung 3 flags together, each are about 8"x 10".  Each one has a different prayer theme.  

Hope, Love and Faithfulness and Being Still before God, are the themes here.

 As they wave in the air I am reminded of prayer 

and what I want to be praying for. 

 I don't know about you but I'm grateful for prayer 

and any reminders that help me believe and 

pray to God are definitely welcome!

If you would like a set of prayer flags for yourself or a friend.  Please contact me.  They make a unique gift.  

The cost is $20 for a set of 3. If you want an individual flag the cost is $8.

The pictures below are flags that I have already made for previous orders.  Just want to give you an idea of what they end up looking like! :)

Blessings!  Randi
