Well, it’s almost December and I still haven’t done anything about putting up a Christmas freebie. It’s true that I’ve designed and digitised a few new things but to be honest I just didn’t like them all that much. So I’m going back to an earlier time and an earlier collection of Renaissance angels, and have found this handsome fellow. He’s inspired by the work of some painter or other – can’t remember who just now – but he makes a nice appealing Christmas image
A Renaissance Christmas angel
He’s for the 4×4 inch hoop and so will be about the right size to fit onto a Christmas card. Where the design asks for “Deep Gold” (colour 1) and “Silver (colour 14) I suggest using metallic threads to give a really Christmassy effect
So – good luck with him, and I hope he may come in handy over the holidays! Here is the embroidery file (in .pes v.6) and here is the worksheet
Thank you for the Renaissance angel. Did they have the smaller wings that stayed behind them or did they not use wings at that time?
He is very well done, and I know that officially men were the only angels. He looks very festive.
Thank you! Love the design detail.
I love both the winged and non-winged versions of this lovely Renaissance angel. Thank you for such a sweet (and early) Christmas gift!
