Angels!

I'm junky, but I'm not artistic. So instead of junk people, I make junk angels.


Old table leg and an upside down candleabra with the candle cups removed.

The top section of a waterbed post and metal shelf brackets.

Half of a table leg, half of a ball from top of bedpost, half of plastic doodad.

Part of a quilt rack with keys added to cover holes.

Spindle from mirror frame of a vanity and metal shelf brackets.

Table leg, deck cap, and wooden shelf brackets.

I often have to add a board to the back for attaching wings.

After construction, I paint the angels completely white.

Then I rub on stain. I soon after rub off as much of the stain as I can.

If it's too dark (it usually is), I drybrush white paint over top. I have very little paint in the brush and it's more of a rubbing, highlighting effect. I start on the backside to get the look I want.

And no photo, but the last step is adding the halo. Many things could be halos, but for all of these I used some coiled up piano wire I had in my stash mostly because I had so much of it but also because I just like the idea of it.
