Winter Angel by Elaine Roesle of St Nicholas Collection is breathtakingly beautiful. The Angel’s porcelain head is a hand cast and hand-painted reproduction of an Armand Marseille 390 bisque doll head from the turn-of-the-century and showcases Winter Angel’s piercing blue eyes and cascading blonde curls. Outfitted in a luxurious, full length fur coat and matching hat, the Angel’s simple accessories – a tree and a length of tinsel garland – are a stark, but refreshing, contrast. Each of Elaine Roesle’s heirloom quality pieces is painstakingly crafted by hand, one at a time, and then signed by the artist. Winter Angel is a magnificent addition to, or, perhaps, the beginning of a handmade Christmas collection.
