I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on Earth, good will to men!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Christmas Bells

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
Looks like you have been hammering on a piece of copper tin, Shads.
Sweet creation.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
It looks almost like copper Repousee, a technique that uses a hammer and tools, similar to leather-working tools, to relief-impress a sheet of copper from the reverse side to create an image, in this case an angel who's either dancing or expressing the reason for Christmas. The image is really ironic for me, because I have a 5-foot angel in front of my house right now who is standing slightly tilted to the left, arms up to the sides and with a tied bow at her waist, the ends hanging long. She's made of woven strips of a thin, gold cloth, over a strong metal wire frame, and tiny white lights are interspersed throughout her shape. Essentially, she looks just like the image you've crafted here, John. It's uncanny. You don't happen to have images of both a Christmas star and a reindeer that have these same characteristics? If so, then I'm gonna start thinking you moved in across the street from me. Very cool. ;0)

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
This is beautiful, and I like the copper tones I see here.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Nik, the angel who was the model for my picture may just have been related to yours. I have never measured her but all you describe seems to be true with her too. Merry Christmas to you, your angel, star, and of course your reindeer too. :)

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Like your work on this one John draws attention good one.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
