He will give His angels charge over thee
This is a banner that I built in 2002 as a gift to a favorite aunt. She loves angels, and has many representations through her home. I designed a banner for her that depicts angels as strong, masculine warriors. The four angels surround a psalmic blessing.
The banner hangs mid-way in a 3 story atrium that houses a library and a cupola outfitted with colored glass windows. As the sunlight moves around the room, the changing colored light gives the banner an ever-changing glow.

The design of this banner was adapted (with permission) from original dustcover artwork by Thomas Klauba for the book <URL url="http://www.amazon.com/What-Bible-Says-about-Angels/dp/157673336X/sr=1-30/qid=1157736703/ref=sr_1_30/103-1131894-6901400?ie=UTF8&s=books">
What the Bible Says About Angels by David Jeremiah. We highly recommend this book as a scriptural way to understand angels.

Those banners are amazing.
That's how I see angels- mighty, powerful beings. I never think of them as chubby children or young girls.
What a wonderful gift you have been given. All the artistic talent I've ever had has gone straight to music. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler!
I especially love the "certainty of the future". I don't know how people can go on without that knowledge and assurance.

Angels have better tans than I do. I think I am jealous.

That's 'cause angels are fiery beings, darlin. They live close to the SON. (How'd you like the way I worked that little pun in there?)
If you look at the close-CLOSE-ups, you can see that the fabric is really gold with a red cross-thread. I wanted to their skin to have a burnished, fiery look.
A SON-tan? OK, I'll take it.

(And don't think I didn't notice your avatar change.....)
