sueno con los angelitos……
I completed this piece around the same time as my mandala ring. It features the milagro symbol of a heart with wings, representing everlasting love and devotion, carved upon a circle, powerful symbol of life. I kept hearing this Mexican refrain…suena con los angelitos, or dream with the angels…an endearment often used to [...]
