This is a child's 1/2 scale guitar that I just finished. I found it without strings and shoved in the corner of a shop. I felt its days were numbered since it couldn't be played any longer --- what was I to do other than rescue it???? So, with a favorite Terrye French angel in mind, I began to layer on the paint and antiquing glaze to get the proper patina. And here she is, holding a wooly lamb with a
saltbox scene on her dress. I love her baby's breath wings and halo... who said angel wings had to be feathers? I had a wonderful time painting this little piece.

As always Martha, you have created another wonderful piece. Tag and garage sales have finally started here so I am hoping to find some great treasures soon....can't wait to see what you come up with next time. It is always such a delight to see your imagination at work.
Are you kidding me? Now I've seen it all! And I only THOUGHT I had talent!
Amazingly beautiful my friend. Love it!

This is sweet. Now...don't take this to the Antiques Road Show. They'll probably tell you it's a rare miniature guitar! ;-) But I think you made it totally precious!
