This is our Midsummer's Day post, a few days late, since Blogger would not allow me to post photos that day. :) I was invited to participate in Fairy Day, which is today, and drew the above fairy for the occasion. I drew her in graphite, then set the graphite with hairspray. I then colored her in with colored pencil and outlined with pen and ink. Unfortunately, I drew her on cheap sketchbook paper, so when I scanned her all the wrinkles and creases showed. Audrey came along and fixed her up for me in PhotoShop, so she's all pristine for you. :)
Perhaps this lady knows the answer!
Love,

Oh Marquetta, thank you thank you!!!

Oh Marqueta! You can make magic out of the most ordinary of days. Must be fun to be your child!
ReplyDeleteDear Marqueta!
ReplyDeleteWhat an enchanting Fairy Lady! You are so talented, my friend!
You ask if I have seen any fairies lately ~ come to my garden blog for your answer!
Happy Fairy Day!
Wonderful~ Lovely pictures. I drew many fairies when I was in highschool I was convinced as a child I would find one...My husband says though that he thinks I am an elf hehehehe...I will scan and post a picture of one of my old drawings to show you & to celebrate Fairy Day with the Lovely Grahams ~ And a very Happy Fairy Day to you...Love Heather
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI love the fairy you drew! She is so sweet! I agree with Jane that it must be fun to be your child! LOL. As for the fairies, I think a few accompanied me (in secret, of course) from the old house and they must visit me in my dreams. I think they sprinkle around special fairy dust to help me dream funny-crazy things! Enjoy this day!
Love,
Lynn
Oh Marqueta, how lovely! :0)

Your picture is beautiful and I so appreciated the link back to the quaint story. Oh to have those tinkling words in that darling treasure of a book... What a wonderful tradition.
