Fun With Fairies




Janet from my Sketchbook Group introduced us to this fun website where you can go to generate your very own fairy name: www.emmadavies.net. I immediately began to play with it by plugging in my name and friends' names to see what their fairy names and descriptions were.

The top two photos are "Bracken Reedglow." This is Gretchen's fairy name and I created my next inspiration card for her featuring her fairy. The prompt "the imagination of others when it inspires your own" seemed fitting. After all, it was Janet who introduced me to the fairy name website and seeing pictures of the fairies Janet had made inspired me to create these beauties.

The fairy in the bottom two photos is "Meadow Elffilter." She adorns the card I made for a classmate who is celebrating a birthday this month. My classmate loves the color red, so she will be tickled to see her fairy wearing a red petal dress!

  3. Fairy nice! I love the ladies. Are they pre printed p dolls or did you make them from scratch... just asking. They are wonderful and I am sure the ladies will love them... If they don't tell them to send them on to me, he he.
