A Golden Halo

I rinsed the paintbrush tip in a small jar of cloudy water, watching the pale blue swirl away into a soft mist. Next to our ceramic angel, Elephant sat propped against a dry wooden block, his plush ears safe from any wet paint. I paused to inspect the wings, which were already drying into a soft powdery shade. Moving very carefully, I dipped just the fine point of the brush into the shiny puddle of metallic gold paint. Holding my breath so my hand wouldn't shake, I dabbed a tiny, glowing rim right along the curved halo above the angel's head. The gold glittered brightly against the chalky white clay, making Elephant's nose twitch with quiet wonder. #Mybuddydoll #jason
