What are angels? Traditionally they were considered to be supernatural beings shaped as humans of extraordinary beauty. Found in many religions and called messengers, holy ones, watchers, guardians, and often depicted with wings, they were described as pure and bright, formed of fire, and encompassed by light. Everyone has their own interpretation, and CDAA members are no exception.

Choir Angels Dymoon Chen: I had two vases that screamed out to be recycled. Actually the Silver Angel, I knew as soon as I saw the container that she was going to be an angel with wings... the cut glass vase was a different story, she didn’t take wing until I found her head.	The Reluctant Angel Charie Wilson: I wanted his expression to appear as though he’s just crossed over and he is in shock that somehow he has become a angel. He is by no means a traditional angel and he certainly is not pleased.	Tree Top Angel Deborah Colston: The skirt is a cone and could go on the tree or stand on a table as a guardian angel. She is painted muslin.	Maura Lucy Garvin: She’s one of a series of angel wall dolls that use a very basic shape and showcase fabric techniques that I like to play with. The inspiration was a scrap of purple lace from Linda Lundstrom’s factory.	Driftwood Angel Martha Boers: made from driftwood gathered in Newfoundland
