The Green Fairy

Today I tackled the green canvas. I'm going with 'color' as a theme for 3 pieces. Last night, I prepped a few things, just going by what felt right. There was no solid idea in place. I painted the text with a light green. Added green yarn as hair to a transparency of one of my 'girlie girl' doodles. Next I stamped a leaf pattern over the large flowers in dark green. Also, I stamped dark green border stamps randomly on the bright green fabric. Although it had a textured pattern, I knew didn't want it 'that' bright.
I woke up remembering this old, miniature book called 'Ferney Glades and Flowery Nooks'. It's basically prose and poetry for women--very old fashioned and in old english. Anyway, it gave me the feeling of fairies/mother nature and I knew I wanted to use leaves for wings. So, I began to place things. They felt right immediately for me.I added buttons and scrunched the bright green fabric as grass.
I thought she needed a belt.
And a wand. Then for a bit of text...I found it in the same book; it just jumped off the page and was perfect!And that feels like green to me!
