Il Cuare di Angelo
"The Heart of an Angel"
The 2012 Philanthropy Challenge brought a bit of positivity into the World as it allowed us to share our positive experiences with the Lightsaber and Replica Prop Community. I ran it, as I always do, as a vehicle to reinvigorate my own spirit and restore my faith in mankind. It accomplished that goal in my eyes, as it always does. Many contributed beautiful examples of human kindness from their own life experiences and there were many who were worthy of winning the prize. As we find ourselves back into the swing of "real life" and things feel as fragile as ever, it did my heart good to create this saber for a very special little girl. Initially, Cane was the winner and although I posted the video of my bare arm selecting the winner people questioned the result's validity. Cane, being the gentleman that I know him to be, relinquished the win and asked that I select the person who I would pick if I would have been able to choose. I honor that request now and present Il Cuare di Angelo to Shmoetech's Daughter. She is an exceptionally special little girl who donates her time to other children with cancer. A child who gives so freely of herself is the purest form of charity in my eyes and indeed the very definition of philanthropy. The Heart of an Angel is the most appropriate name I could give this saber. I felt inspired to finally use my "star" pommel on a worthy project. This was it. I hope that it hearkens to the stars in the heavens which light the way for angels to do their good deeds. Finally, I created a custom boot sound for it so it will always remind you of it's name and the spirit in which it is given. I truly hope you enjoy it.
A special thanks to Vvenom and Caine for their contributions to this project.
