One Yellow Rose Digital Collage

By

2012

I was creating this piece for my Mom, whom we found out has cancer. Initially I created it with just the flower, but then decided to add a little magic, and the fairy and turn it into a digital collage. When I’d finished all that I realized that it would also just happen to work with the Gingersnap Creations blog color challenge, Soft Yellows and White. So I decided to enter it into that challenge.

Yellow roses have special meaning in our family, as does the phrase, “Never Apart in Heart.” We sign our emails, letters, and cards with NAIH as a reminder that no matter how far apart we may be, we are always together in heart. So even though I can’t physically be with my mom right now, I am with her, always. And thankfully, doing anything creative helps to keep my mind off of difficult things. So this art is for you, Mom.

I Love You.

Always.

3 Captured Fairy Jars

I was outside the other day and to my surprise and wonder and awe, I saw 3 fairies playing in the yard. So I decided to capture those three fairies and put them in some glass jars–at least for long enough to photograph each of them. I wanted to share them with all of you. So here they are.

After they kindly allowed me to take their photographs, they were starting to get a little irked in their glass environment. So it soon became time to set them free. After all, it’s never a good idea to irritate a fairy. If you do, they are sure to start stealing your socks from the dryer.

MJ Fairy Art

OK, so it’s clear I have a love of all things fairies…and Michael Jackson. So I decided it was time to combine those two loves into one artistic Fairy Art creation. It’s a nice addition to my Michael Jackson Art collection. :)

Even if you’re not a Michael Jackson fan, but you love fairies, hopefully you’ll enjoy this. I love how it turned out. He truly was a magical being, living in his own Neverland. So it just seemed like a natural fit to turn MJ into a fairy.

Peony Fairy Digital Collage

Since I have some other peony Flower Photos that I took the other day, I decided I’d play around and create something to add to my Digital Collages. I love flowers, and of course you know I love fairies, so I thought it would be fun to take one of my peony photos and a vintage photo and work my digital magic to create a fairy on the peony.

I really wasn’t that thrilled with this particular peony photo all by itself. But once I added the fairy and her magic fairy dust and did a bit of editing, I fell in love with it.

Flower Fairy Digital Sketch

This is one of two digital sketches I’m adding to my digital sketchbook today. I’m calling it the Flower Fairy.

This began as a digital photo I took last summer. I have a window box outside one of my studio windows and I had planted some Vinca there that was in full bloom. I also always have a little resin fairy perched on the ledge of the box. Not sure if she’s sulking or daydreaming, but she’s cute either way.

I played around with several filters in PhotoScape before finally giving it the sketch-like effect. I really love how the purplish hue in the background contrasts against the white tones of the fairy. And I also like the many flower petals and leaves help to create texture in the background.

I’m also linking this to the Collage Obsession “Many” Challenge this week.

Fairy Card

2011

Time to think just a little bit toward warmer weather and summer! So I created this greeting card with a fairy and summer theme, and I’m using it for the 3 Muses Hot, Hot, Hot Challenge.

Fairy Card

I started with some green and cream scrapbook paper with a pattern on it. That is what makes up the card itself. I just cut 2 pieces, 5×7″ in size and punched holes in the left side of both. Then I hunted for a nice image to use, and found a postcard in my stash of goodies that I’ve always loved. The image is Ophelia, from an oil on canvas painting from 1865 by Arthur Hughes. She looks so pretty collecting summer flowers and with her beautiful red hair.

Then I decided to turn her into a fairy, so I found some fairy wings with red and yellow in them. I cut a slit into the image and tucked the fairy wings inside, then I Mod Podged the image to some coordinating scrapbook paper, which also has yellows and oranges in it. I tore the edge of that paper and then glued those to the base of the card.

Next I added some alpha stickers to spell out FAIRY, and I also added a paper flower image, which looks like a nice, orange poppy.  Then I accented everything with yellow and orange rhinestone gems, some in her hair, some on her clothes, some on the wings, and one on the flower. I love giving things a little bit of sparkle with gems.

I finished it off with some gold organdy ribbon tied into the holes I punched in the side of the card. I think this will make a nice birthday card for someone this summer.

Reflection Altered Journal

This is my second altered journal that I made over the weekend. I call it Reflection.The colors are all soft tans and greens with a bit of black.

Reflection Altered Journal

Again I used some cardstock 12×12 paper that I cut to size and Mod Podged to the composition book cover for the background.  The background paper has a distressed and worn look about it, which I love. I then tore out a piece of another piece of cardstock paper to work as a background to my vintage fairy photo. On top of that I created yet another layer of paper, but instead of torn edges I used some paper edger scissors for a different edge effect. After gluing them all in place, I added the “reflection” sentiment. Then I added the fairy image, to make her appear to be sitting on the paper strip with the sentiment. Then I created the layered fabric flower and attached that with a brad, after punching a hole through the journal cover.

I think I may do a Halloween themed journal for the next one. I know it’s early, but hey, is it really ever too early to get your witchy-ness on?!
