'Autumn' the fairy




Hi everyone, here is my new fairy which I'm going to add to my shop. I had so much fun with the mixed media on my last fairy that I had another go, using more tissue paper and patterned paper as well as inktense pencils and paint. I have also bought a varnish that is a spray on instead of a paint on as I was finding that it would smudge some of my mixed media pieces, these photos were taken before the varnish as I wasn't sure how it would turn out but it looks good and is just drying now!!

This week was very lucky and honoured to receive a few blog awards from some lovely people. Thank you so much, it's been a crazy weekend this weekend with lots of family gatherings as well as the inlaws coming to stay so I'm afraid I haven't been able to respond to them properly, I shall get on to that this week!!

Really lovely Nicola, she is adorable and I love the autumn leaves swirling around her! It's also so nice to see the real green leaves behind your painting, we won't see those for at least six weeks! Have a great week, Susan

Autumn fairy is adorable! I use spray varnish as well. It's so much easier to use.
