rosieposie:
Hello everyone,  I have started collecting Glass Angels now, and bought this one a little while ago.

It is quite stylised and has twists of colours running through the centre.
It is hand signed to the base, and is 14.5 cm.s tall.
Does anyone know the signature, as I would love to know who made it and what country it originated in?
Many thanks for any help you are able to give.

Anne:
Hi Rosie, first word looks like Shuly but I can't make out the second word. :(

rosieposie:

Anne:

 :huh: :huh: Guessing here:

Could it be SHIRLEY ELFORD - Canadian Glass blower that specialized in making Angels .  
She has made over 8000 Glass angels in the past 12 years.  She was also the designer for the Glass Award for the JUNO AWARDS (music) here in Canada.

IF this is her, You might just have a Special piece of from a Canadian Glassblower   :thup: and read/meet (in the Photos) the very *Special lady* that did this.

I think it might bring a tear to ones Eye..... :'(  She is now gone, due to Ovarian Cancer

So not sure IF this is the person -- but kinda *might* be ???????????????

 :X:  If you scroll down to about *half ways down* -- you will see what looks like your very Angel;
