Carole this is absolutely stunning, I love the colours you have used I bet it’s really bright on the original.

Carole that's beautiful. I love the delicate work of the fairy's wings, so very different and your choice of colours is super, it would make a lovely book illustration. All in all fantastic work.

Thanks Paul and Linda. I must tell you I cheated here, all the black is done by stamping process. The background colours are paint sprays, but the design is mine :)

It certainly would make a wonderful book illustration, a sheer delight Carole. I can see that there’s some serious competition on this challenge!

Brilliant colours and I really like the delicate silhouette work.

No such thing as cheating, it techniques and the skill is in the putting it together to create such a lovely piece.

Very good and as Linda said "illustrative". Great fairy.

Splendid piece, Carole.

A lovely silhouetted pose for this fairy, she looks magical and the pink fluorescence glitters in the night sky and highlights her image rather well, and a fabulous book illustration! Well done Carole!

This is magic! So beautiful.

This is so original and beautiful. The fairy is painted so imaginatively with such delicacy, combined with the glittery sky and moon, you have achieved the wow factor in a work of art you must be very proud of Carole.

Carole this is magical! I absolutely love the scruffy bird, can I have him please?

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Thu 28 Nov 20:58:59

Thanks again so much for your kind feedback. Carole, the fairy is a stamp process printed on the paper so I can't take the credit for painting it.... Fiona thank you yes you can have thescruffy birdie :))

Beautiful, Carole, and yes it would make a wonderful book illustration.
