The holiday season was extra Goreylicious this year. Over the past few years, my husband Bill has been creating Earbrass-inspired toys as gifts for me. This year he wanted to create a multipurpose figurine/tree topper inspired by the floating angels Edward Gorey would feature in Christmas Card images. Balancing on one toe, the Earbrass Angel is bringing a tinsel garland to festoon a Christmas tree.
The Angel joins the three other toy figurines he has made annually. The Angel comes complete with a church steeple shaped base to hover above. The body of the Angel has a large spring that gives him a distinctive wobble.
Bill designed the Angel to be easily removable from the steeple and also made a large spring shaped support so he can be used on a Christmas tree.

Omigod. These are all so very special. What an artist he is and what a loving gesture. It's great seeing these year-to-year.
Those are so fantastic! Keep sharing them, please. :)
