Angel's Gate

Toby

Angel's Gate is a hospice for animals. They care for many animals with special needs. I first heard about Angel's Gate from my sister who had seen a segment on the Oprah show. Then last month Angel's Gate was our charity of the month through a group I'm affiliated with Etsy for Animals (EFA) and I made a small donation.

Angel's Gate replied with a sweet e-mail thanking me for my donation and attached was a photo of a recent member of their community - Toby. Toby is blind in both eyes, his eyes were removed due to a very bad infection, but he has a great disposition. You can see how sweet he is in the photo above, it just melts your heart.

It's this type of caring that first drew me to Angel's Gate. If you haven't had the chance to visit Angel's Gate website, please do. They care for many animals, not just dogs, but all animals in need.

HAPPY 4th of July everyone. Keep your pets safe and away from those firecrackers. And if they're scared of firecrackers make sure you have them in the house or if out walking safely on a leash so they don't get away from you!

Basset Hound Art Tile and Angel's Gate

The Basset Hound Art Tile is handcrafted from polymer clay. It is first sculpted from a golden brown polymer clay. In the upper left corner sits a photo from my original Basset Hound drawing. There are flowers etched into the tile, surrounded by two butterfly stamps. The piece is then painted in colors of yellow, purple, pink and green to match the florals in the artwork. The entire piece is then varnish sealed for protection.

The tile hangs from reclaimed jewelry including gold tone chain. There is a gold tone link chain hanging down one side of the tile adorned with clay floral beads and at the very bottom a large teardrop bead hand painted in matching colors.

Size is approximate:
3-1/4" long top to bottom
2-4/8" wide at widest point
Including the chain and beads the tile hangs approximately: 8" in total length.

50% of the sale of this art tile will to to Angel's Gate Charity. It's a wonderful charity my sister mentioned to me. She had seen a segment about it on Oprah. Angel's Gate is a center where they take care of handicap animals, older animals, etc., it's hospice for the animals.
