Winter Fairy

Hi!
Before I go on, I want to explain what happened to my sketch of the day.  I was making a copper wire pumpkin when the wire pierced my finger.  Almost immediately, infection set in and I have been on antibiotics for just over a week.....and it is not cleared up yet. 
So, today was my first day even giving any kind of art a try.  Here is the result:

This is a mixed media canvas (12X6") with the background being layers of spray inks which I blended together.  Then I dripped gesso down from the top.  Next was stamping tiny snowflakes with gesso. I drew the fairy on bristol paper, coloured her face with Prisma pencils and then cut her out.  Her wings are cut out separately out of vellum and I lined the edges with paint pen (as well as adding the dots).  I then used matte medium to adhere the wings and head to the canvas.  Next was painting her hair.  I painted the part that I drew on the bristol and then carried it over to the canvas to incorporate her into the piece. I used fluid acrylics.
The last step was stamping the larger snowflakes using gesso. (I added these where I did so that I could cover over a mistake)
Now, my only question to myself...and to you....should I add some text?  Let me know what you think.
Bye for now!

Fairy #3

This fairy features a water colour background, acrylic hair and wings, and a face coloured with Prismacolor pencils.  The floral head band is also acrylics.  I used perfect pearls on her wings as well as paint to give them shimmer.   Hope you like her!

Fairy #2

This fairymust be a garden nymph as she has a butterfly as a friend.  I used acrylics for the hair, wings, clothes and background.  The butterfly is a die cut.  Her face and body are coloured with Prismacolor pencils which blend sooooooooo well. She is 9 X12 and painted on bristol paper.

Whimsy Fairy

Good morning!
I wanted to show you my wood nymph in-training. (You can tell by her crooked wings that she has a way to go)

I drew her with pencil and coloured her face with Prismacolor Pencils.  Her hair and wings are painted with acrylics and her headband and dress are Twinkling H2Os. The background is acrylics printed using my Gelli pad.  A real mixed media work.

I am having a bit of trouble blending the coloured pencils but am sure it will get better!

See you soon.
