Yep, those darn wings are everywhere!


Shown here, both sides of an ornament done on a store-bought cardboard heart. Collaged papers & acrylics.
Next up, an ornament that can double as a wind chime! 
First, you need decorative tins, sooo cheap at thrift
shops.

You also need tin snips, glass beads, findings, ribbon, needle-nose

Finally, here's a link to a Christmas collage that is so easy to do! 
And I love the stained-glass effect:  Madonna
