I do believe in Faeries!

Once upon a time, I thought faeries lived only in books, old folktales, and the past. That was before they burst upon my life as vibrant, luminous beings, permeating my art and my everyday existence, causing glorious havoc.

I love Brian Frouds work I can relate to him. I have spent countless hours looking at his books and reading about all Faerie Folk recounting stories told to me by my Mother and Grandmother of the Faeries that dance in the cool breeze in the garden. The last 2 weeks I was able to spend Many Wonderful hours with my Sisters and my Mother playing with my new Nephew and recounting fun things we remember from our childhood. I am the oldest of 6 children and both of my Sisters are quite a bit younger so it is interesting how close we are. My youngest sister is just a few months older than my oldest daughter. We have formed a special bond my Sisters, my Mother and my Daughters. We share a love of the things we have learned and are still learning and we pass the stories and traditions started by my Grandmother and my Mother on to our children and now on to my Grandchildren. We try to get together weekly (we send pictures and phone my Sister in Wyoming) for Girls Day and we craft and cook and shop and go to lunch and sometimes we just visit and laugh and tell stories. I know I will always have a special place in my heart for Faeries and the magic they bring into my life. That Magic will always be a part of me and hopefully my family also. I have been working on some new collage sheets as you can guess Faeries are my inspiration... and have a couple of pieces of artwork to share with you. I took old Victorian Cabinet Card Photos and through the magic of digital editing programs....yes that is right more than one have created something I hope you like. You are welcome to save them to your computer and use them in your artwork. Please do not claim them as your own but enjoy them just the same. I thought they may make nice Valentines I used them along with a few others in a Collage sheet to make an Accordian Book it is currently on my Etsy Site.
