Mandi inspired fairy with tulips

Sooo, all the glitter sniffing going on inspired me to try a fairy but I chose to use tulips in honor of the soldiers who liberated the home towns of my parents and siblings (Bedum and Groningen). This is my first attempt at both tulips and a fairy but I am fairly pleased with how it turned out for a first try.

Oops..again I forgot to add what I used.

Size 2 round
Wolfe white and black
Snaz for the body and colors. Grass green, pale green, Drk purple, light purple, a touch of blue, orange, pink and red
Snaz pearl white for a bit on the wings and in the hair
Gold and silver MicaBella shadow and glitter

Wooohooo Gr8ful I'm with excitment. You have done a gorgeous job both with the tulip & your sweet little fairy. You should be very proud of yourself

Am I allowed to say I love you? You are so sweet to say that. Thank you VERY much Mandi. Your explanation of the fairy body helped a lot. (((hugs)))

Happy Mother's day to you. I do believe you are already into the 8th way over there?

Yes we are & thankyou. My hubby had to work today so we kinda celebrated Mother's day yesterday with a cuppa in bed & a sleep in Happy Mother's day to you too!

Awwww Judy, she is so beautiful, you did a wonderful job and now I have to say "SHUT UP" because you deserve it

Thank you Maggie. The transition from paper to skin is challenging but I am having a blast learning. All those simple (read ...bad,,,) little cheek ones that I did over the years are gone forever. Now that I know what REAL face and body artists can do, I will try to hold back the uncertainty I feel and just do it.

You go girl! btw, I hope you understood the SHUT UP expression

Yup I did Maggie..thank you.

*ahem*Daizy'sFairy*ahem*
You have done a beautiful job!

Yes Yes Yes Judy it was Daizy's explanation that I cut & pasted in the thread. Not mine I just tried to paint what she was explaining and then went on a fairy adventure.

Daizy I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I hope you will understand.

This is what I cut & pasted in the other fairy thread.


[quote="Mandi from Tazzie"]When I was trying to get my head around painting a fairy I read Daizy's comments here:

The only way I have managed to get around painting people is to cover up most of them. The face I leave blank and paint hair across it. Mostof the body I try to hide under clothing and arms I just do 2 teardrops and a blob for the hand.

I'll see if I can paint another fairy tomorrow, I had to go out today so didn't have time.

Very cute! I have yet to try one of these!

Oops. My sincere apologies Daizy!

Beautiful!!!!! I want to try a fairy. Will do that this week. All the flower posts got me practicing my roses and getting better. Thanks

Yay Laura please share your fairy when you've done her. Would love to see another fairy.

Its all good

gr8tfull...this is awesome!!!! especially love your tulip!!!

Thank you Angela.
