AnnaLift: Knife Angel

I was fascinated by the photos of the 27 foot angel in the UK made out of 10,000 knives. The angel looks quite menacing, but I suppose that's the point.

More info: The sculpture, named "Knife Angel," was created in Oswestry, Shropshire, by the British Ironwork Centre. It took two years to build. The knives were handed in by 41 police forces around the country during amnesties and confiscations.

Supplies:
ArtPlay Palette Kinsfolk

LoopDaLoop Star No. 1 (retired)

Process notes:
I used SolidPaper No. 3 as my background. I placed my photo and used the color blend mode to turn it into a sketch effect, duplicated it at 24% opacity. It also turned it a burnished brown, instead of bluish-black of the statue. I added several transfers behind my focal and around the outline of the angel. Also added a transfer on the left to add interest. Placed several LoopDaLoops to create movement. WordArt created by using several different fonts was my final touch.

Thanks for looking.
yes, I guess that is the point and they certainly have done that. I like where they got the knives from and maybe that shows the angel part. It's sticking and the more I think about it ... the further it takes me. Guess that's why it's art
 
Thanks for your story Christy, so I learn every day more!

Love this gorgeous Texas Art page!
 
Just googled and read more about the art piece...what an amazing undertaking! I really like the facial expression and cupped hands. A quite successful and fascinating lift, Christy! Well done!
