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.
Love your interpretation of this art piece.Thanks for the information--always something new to learn.
 
This is pretty incredible...yeah, I suppose that IS the point. Yin and yang coming together in one sweet spot. Beautifully done.
 
whoa..... that is amazing! Even though you explain how you did it.... I still have no idea! LOL It's remarkable! Thanks for explaining about the art. I haven't heard of it here. Now I have to go look it up. Simply Stunning page!
