FAIRIES IN THE MEADOW....

Hello my lovelies, spring is in the air, it's going to be 1 C, hopefully coming out of our deep freeze. Since last Friday I've been having a love affair at my desk, I'm craaaazy about fairy's. I found the book I won with my Fabre Castel  stuff, got my fairy stamps, my new meadow flowers, Tim's goodies, and had some big fun...

Started and stayed till I was finished, I couldn't stop..

I've have hardly been visiting so I have all weekend to do that.

I will show you a couple of pages every day..

 The cover, I covered it with molding paste in a thick layer, got an old whipper and pressed it in the paste to get the circles, I went over it with rusty hinge and forest moss,  spritz it with water, I did the same to a small piece of water color paper, then stamped Believe.

 I have an old Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Calender and that's where I got a few sentences in the book it seem appropriate.. 

 I used the paints and water to the seam binding, edged it with the rusty hinge ink pad, stamped the meadow flowers..

 My first page is really strange, because I gessoed it then used the paints with water, now I watched Limor Webber do all 6 pages, with gelatos, and lots of water, my the pages warped, even split almost in half  not sure why this happened, so I did tried not to add to much water to the rest of the book, it was much better anyway..

 This gessoed page, hhmm, the stamp almost slid across the page,  it didn't hold the color very good, I always have to learn from my mistakes hahaha...
These are my little dancing fairies this is Suzette, blowing bubbles..

This is Tatiana spreading fairy dust, I used my ink pads to color the page, I could make water droplets in the ink, I used  stickles for all their wings I used my copics to add some color to the flowers, to give them a bit of definition, and my white Sharpie to make all the  flower tops, loooooooove them.
"She's a wild and gentle flower." was my them song in the early 70, anytime I got my hands on some Queen Anne's Lace I would wear it in my hair, I was a wild child.....
Thanks so much for stopping by my crazy nest, your visit make my day. Have a wonderful day,  ((( BIG HUGS)))..
