Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I gave my own six-pointed-star-turned-into-an-angel design a try, since I never found the original one again.
So here is my version, made of memory and personal preferences:



Originally, the ornament is a very pale blue, not white, but the iPad mini had a bad day again. Usually, it turns white things blue, today it did the opposite. But you can still imagine what it looks like in reality, I hope. Clicking on the pic won't help - you'd only get a much smaller version, as I still haven't figured out how to make sensible-sized pictures on Pinterest since they revamped the whole site. *add curse words of your choice*

I call it a seraph, as seraphim are traditionally depicted with six wings, and the star has six points. It might be a heretic decision, but I don't really care. ;))

Aww this is adorable!

[wiseheart]

Thank you.:) I do love its happy little face.

[darkcedars]

Ha, I thought "that would look great in blue" and then got to the line below the photo. :D

We have a saying in Hungarian: When great spirits meet... *g*

What an adorable angel! I think your design works really well, she's so twinkly! The metallic thread is a good choice.

[wiseheart]

Good for the twinkly effect, but hell to work with. Still, one has to make sacrifices.

[badly_knitted]

Metallic thread is a bit of a nightmare, it's true.

[m_findlow]

She's very sweet regardless of whether she's white or blue!

[wiseheart]

Thanks. The next one will be a very pale pink - I wonder what the iPad mini will do with the colour. *shudders*

[matsushima]

Aww, so cute!!

[wiseheart]

Thank you. :)
Not quite the warrior angel of light the seraphim are supposed to be, but I like it this way.

[sister_raphael]

That is just gorgeous!

[wiseheart]

Thank you so much! The sparkly effect pulls it off, I think.

[spiralicious]

So very cute!
