Greatest glory

This little angel was inspired by the 20th anniversary of Nelson Mandela gaining freedom and literally changing the world for so many. What's extraordinary is that the image of Mandela as a 'baby angel' seems to work as well as the spry old man we see on our TV sets etc. I love this phrase, it offers hope and courage to everyone.

Here is a new angel card I created at Maison Bertaux in Soho, London today. Anais Nin's famous words mean a lot to me, faced like many of us with financial challenges and other uncertainties in a world still struggling to recover from deep recession. I hope my little angel can give others the strength to keep going on whatever it takes, whatever the ladder you have to climb to reach the love of your life.

By the way, there's a delightful exhibition of paintings and installation boxes at Maison Bertaux which were recently reviewed in Dazed and Confused. Well worth a visit, as well as spoiling yourself with one of their fabulous cream cakes.

I see they've also built a little shrine to Alexander McQueen downstairs. I'm sure he used to drop by their regularly in the past, as he used to be a fashion student at St Martin's School of Art nearby.
