Dear Friends,
Wow! Who Knew? WHO KNEW?? Who knew that the efforts to raise funds for Brianna’s family would result in a variety of art communities coming together to form an event so amazing?
THANK YOU.
Thank you to all the artists who poured their hearts and souls into their angel art and produced beautiful keepsakes. We were hoping to gather up 20 artists and little did we know how this would spin out-of-control in a very wonderful way.
Thank you to the bidders. Without you...opening your hearts and your wallets to help...we wouldn’t have been able to have such success.
Thank you all for your patience with all of our “technical difficulties”. It did work out in the end and we were able to fix our glitches and continue onward.
A final thank you to Stephanie Stargell.
When we began this process it was just the 3 of us. The night before we were to go “live” we realized that we were not going to have enough hours to do all that needed to be done. When we shut our computers down at 3:45 am, Stephanie was just logging in to finish up where we left off. Stephanie had not been involved in the beginning stages of this effort and when we realized we were in trouble she happened to be knocking on our back door with a “can I help?”…I don’t think she realized just what she was getting into but she stuck with us through thick and thin. She has never met Brianna or Iva yet she was a trooper throughout this whole process and we couldn’t have done it without her.
Because we have raised the amount of money we have, Iva and John are thinking of starting an art scholarship in Brianna’s name. I spoke with Iva on the phone this afternoon and she couldn’t say enough about it all. The funds raised are more than she could have ever imagined and she made this comment…”I want to paint the world with Brianna and you are allowing me to do it”. Enough said.
Our sincere gratitude to you all,
Colleen Moody

This costume jewelry piece features a mixed-media pendent with deep purple paper (a color Brianna adored), metal angel wings and a heart, sealed with resin. The color of the necklace is antique brass and I believe the metal is aluminum. It is about 22 inches long. The beads are pearls and purple Swarovski crystals. The easy to close toggle is a lock and key. I am new to jewelry making so the wire wrapping isn’t perfect when you look closely, but it is heartfelt.
Winning Bid: $65.00

This vintage piece was created on an 8x10" vintage pastel blue cabinet card, and features vintage jewelry findings, buttons, metal label holder, tea dyed cheesecloth, mica flakes
on top of a wooden heart and wings made by a special friend. I created this piece as a tribute to young artists who bravely share a piece of themselves in everything they create. Their expressions are so free and made with love and a fresh innocence. I hope that their art takes them far...to the top of the world. I hope it fills their hearts and souls. This piece was also made for established artists who have helped to pave the way, always with an open heart.

2. Susan Walker
I feel so blessed and honored to be part of this wonderful group of warm, loving and supportive artists as we come together for one in her time of need. This sweet Angel of
Peace was made with lots of love and prayer for our Angels for Brianna auction. She stands 29" tall and is mounted on a vintage wooden beehive bobbin. She is made from natural muslin that has gone through several painting and aging processes to give her her glowing complexion. Her crown is heavily sugared with German glitter glass and trimmed with gathered ivory tulle that drapes down the back and is secured with a vintage style button in the back. She has soft and steady blue eyes and her countenance is so peaceful. Her ivory wings have been heavily aged and crackled and antiqued. Angel is dressed in beautiful warm colors of red, ivory, salmon, and touches of blue that match her sash. I hand stitched 17 bells around her neckline, closest to her heart, representing the 17 years of Brianna's love. Angel carries a beautiful white dove...a Peace Dove. He measures 8" long and was made from natural muslin using a wonderful pattern by RK Creations. He has been painted ivory and then details added to give him warmth and detail. If you are the winning bidder, Angel of Peace and her Peace Dove will come to you signed and dated with a personalized Angels for Brianna hangtag and the Sweet Angel of Peace poem.

*~* Cherish *~*
Oh what a sweet faced gal she is! Somewhat Matronly in appearance w/ her nice wide torso...... yet childlike w/ her small youthful wings.
nice fit for the lovely antique child's dress that she wears. She has painted blue eyes, sculpted nose and brows, and a stitched mouth. Her hair is brown (w/ auburn highlights) sheeps wool that I have stitched in place.
parting w/ such a find, but for an angel such as this, for such a very special cause, with such significance, it is only "fitting" that I should and would do so.
especially neat crisscross fashion across the front of the dress, w/ some really lovely embroidery as well. Down the back are 6 crochet covered tiny buttons, all in tact. I would describe this dress as being in mint condition...no tatters or tears. It is off white in color....perhaps white at one time, but time has taken it's toll, and now it is a true "antique white". It is not quite as
sheer as it's showing in the pics, also...it has no shine to it. I can't help but to wonder about the little girl who long ago was the first to wear this stunning dress.
a gorgeous dress, it would only be right to have undergarments of vintage fabrics as well. I've placed a slight bouquet of preserved Sweet Annie in her lap then pinned a fabric tag which I have stamped (w/ antique stamps) the word "Cherish". I've also given her a "necklace" of rusty wire and three tiny rusty bells.
I am HONORED to be able to take part in this wonderful act of kindness.....to remember and to celebrate Brianna! Although I had not the privilege of meeting this very beautiful,bright, talented, and full of life young girl, I feel that Brianna's memory will live on in the hearts of so very many.

The bottom of the box has antiqued paper applied to all sides and bottom, the words read: One, two, three, Like a bird I sing, 'Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings. I so glad you're here today, because tomorrow I might have to go and fly away. (Tim McGraw- Last Dollar)
Silk Millinery Leaves. Her dress is embellished with vintage rhinestones, ribbons, and some of the words that Iva used to describe her sweet daughter in her eulogy. The title of this piece is "Home To Thy Loving Arms" , which is also the title of the vintage sheet music in the background. The angel is surrounded by an antique Victorian Millinery & Wax Flower Wedding "Tiara", vintage
images of Angels, vintage Tinsel, and permanently mounted behind glass inside an ornate vintage Italian Gilded Wood Shadow Box, lined with Cream Silky Moiree fabric. The piece measures 11~1/2" x 9~1/2", it is 3~1/2" deep.

This painting is of a young angel reaching up to the dove in flight amongst the clouds. This painting by CJ of Sweet Harvest Farms has been done in a very child-like manner. It was painted with a mixture of acrylic and water color on an old antique cupboard door. The crackle and "peely" paint is indicative of its age. CJ then antiqued, sealed and signed the painting.

“Believe”
This sweet angel with her rosy cheeks and blue eyes is hand sculpted from clay. This piece measures over 18”tall. I used different techniques to give this piece an overall distressed appearance of antique carved wood. I painted her dress pale blue, to contrast with her radiant black hair. She is adorned with vintage metal wings and a hand painted paper banner which reads, “Believe”. The angel herself stands about 12 ½ tall. She is secured inside a lovely wooden box which is quite ornate. It is detailed along the top and sides with unique carvings. I painted the wooden box inside and out in an antique white and distressed and crackled. I have adorned the box with a vintage brooch which has varies jewels in colors of bronze, blue and white. She would make a great addition to your angel collection.

eyes are set far apart to give her the innocent look of a child. Her little hair bow has some mushrooms and vintage ribbons and flowers. I thought the little mushrooms added a teen flair to her
since they seem to be so hot right now with that group. Finally, on the back of this teddy bear is an original ink drawing of her brand new angel wings. They are drawn on muslin and stitched to the
back of the bear. Under the wings is the word peace... it's a tough time, and I don't know that words can even be put in place, but peace seems to be a nice thought for Iva and her family, as well
as for Brianna. This teddy bear is one of a kind and there will never be another one like her.

background with artist acrylics in hand mixed shades of teal, aqua, robin’s egg blue, brown, tan, and ivory. I printed copies of antique pictures of angels onto stained charcoal paper and
then decoupaged them onto the canvas. Torn pieces of sheet music from 1942 serve as the border, wrapping around the sides so that no frame is needed if you wish to leave it that way. I’ve
added bits and pieces of some of my favorite things: a crepe paper ruffle, mother of pearl buttons, antique lace, vintage ribbon, and a couple of found metal pretties. Words printed from old
letters are scattered here and there: “Faith in all things” and “Honest and Faithful”. Lastly, I’ve incorporated elements inspired by valentines of the 18th and 19th
centuries: hand cut and hand woven hearts, winged hearts, and a heart in hand. This original piece is backed with brown paper and is ready for hanging. It comes with attached screw eyes and wire,

old - (who knows more about angels than a young child?) It is about the radiance and airiness of angels. When I told Boone about Brianna and the auction he asked if he could paint an angel as well
- he wanted to help. So part of the spirit and love in this painting is the result of working together in my studio with MY angel - Boone Wilson.

" Angels Sing"
This piece is a book shaped box embellished with collage and assemblage. It is meant for display, not for storage of items. The collage on the front of the box is a combination of stamping and a transparency. The inside of the box is collaged and contains a small stamped & embossed shrine in which a tiny angel figure holds a heart. It is finished off with the quotation "When hearts listen, angels sing" by an unknown author. I am sure Brianna is singing with the other angels. The box is made of papier mache, which was painted & collaged. The box measures approximately 6 ½" high by 4 ¾" wide by 1 ?" deep and will stand on it's own when slightly open.

Brianna", I knew I had to paint her as an angel, which she surely is. The day after Brianna passed, I was listening to some music online, and heard a beautiful song written by the late Dave Carter, entitled "When I Go". It immediately brought to mind Brianna's spirit, and the last two lines evoked a beautiful image I've worked into the piece: "Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so, All your diamond tears will rise up and adorn the sky beside me when I go" Using a photo from Iva's blog for reference, I've painted Brianna's image on this solid wood memory box, with a cascade of Swarovski crystal stars rising beside her. The background is done in shades of deep blue and periwinkle, accented with pink, and the interior is painted a soft periwinkle and french mauve. I'm told Brianna's favorite colors were shades of pink and purple, and I've tried to work them into the design. A brass chain keeps the lid in place. There are several smaller compartments, and a place for letters, paintings, drawings, etc. inside the lid. The handle of the box is an antique key, representing timelessness. Handpainted in acrylics and finished with a clear acrylic varnish. Measures 14 1/2" x 12" x 4 1/2". Signed and dated on the bottom by the artist (me), with a certificate of authenticity included.

"A Simple Little Sparrow"
My offering to you is this beautiful little doll that measures 13 inches from her head to the bottom of her beaded legs. 14 inches from her head to the bottom of her tulle skirt. This doll was created using a beautiful cloth fabric that Ms. Dixie Redmond of North Dixie Designs sent me. It is a beautiful warm tannish brown color with black alphabet letters as the print. Her skirt is made of black tulle that is gathered and sewn. It is attached at her waste and hangs beautifully past her beaded legs. Her facial features have been hand sculpted with Paperclay by Me using no molds. I then delicately painted her features and spent many hours getting her to radiate an "old worn" look. I beaded her legs using rusty wire and a sequence of pink beads that coordinate perfectly with her vintage trim that is sewn at the top of her bodice. There are also Rusty Jingle Bells at the bottom of her legs attached as her slippers. You know the old saying..."Every time a Bell Rings an Angel Gets Their Wings". Her arm and wings are actual feathers. She kept whispering to me that she was a Bird in Spirit wanting to soar. She is able to hang or sit. If you sit her her legs are bendable for the wire and you may pose them as you please.

She measures about 20" tall, she is made out of muslin, brown wool hair, she has painted eyes and stitch pinched nose. Gentle Beatrice is wearing a baby blue dress with a bit of
