Lately I have been stressed about some work related problems. It is not a good use of my time, but when I am stressed, I tend to want to disappear. One way I can do that is by creating artistic graphic images of the fantastic. Lately, this has focused around fantasy-world women. I have always found the women in fantasy novels interesting: full of magic and power. I guess I am wishing I had a little magic in my life right now.

I've been working on Holly, she's the faerie of the holly plant. I thought she would be really cute for Christmas. There is a lot of interesting lore about the holly plant, and it has healing properties too! I will be writing more about that when she is all finished. ^_^

C. Aust, Camellia News, No.182, Autumn 2010, p.8 with colour photo; Regn No.615-N; A chance seedling of Paradise Little Jen. Light pink with a paler centre, miniature, anemone form to informal double, cluster flowering at axils and tips. Narrow, upright plant. Slow growth until 2nd or 3rd year, after which it produces longish canes. Flowers early to very late. Originated by Terence E. Pierson, Jaspers Brush, NSW, Australia.
The good spirit of the forest is hiding somewhere in this picture... be careful if you're sensitive, she's naked.
I decided that for Sam's raised scars I should apply the gel before airbrushing and then blush them with pastels after he's been tanned. The gel goes on white but dries clear very quickly without the addition of paint so it's a little hard to see unfortunately.
There's three types of scars that I have made with the gel, small nicks in his flesh either from accidents or defending himself; the outside rim of a bullet wound where the skin has been pushed aside; and longer more fierce scars where stitches have had to be used to pull the two halves back together.

Our younger daughter is going to a Regency Ball to be held at Lucca, near Florence in August. The Summer Pleasures of 1818.
The dress code asks that the ladies wear faerie wings as well (of course) as ball gowns appropriate to the period. This event is associated with the local Jane Austen Society.
Dad was requested to come up with the required kit. This is the framework, upon which will be stretched layers of sparkly netting.
I made the wings, and the harness which connects them, from common grounding wire, which comes in two sizes at the local hardware store. The smaller is a seven strand twist of 16 gauge copper wire; the heavier is 12 gauge, similarly twisted up.
The first job is to untwist the wires and straighten them. The quickest and best way I found to straighten the wire was to stretch it, in the case of the 16 gauge, until it breaks.
I used 12 gauge for the 'main rib' of each wing (the inside or root wire upon which the other 'veins' are wound; also using this heavier wire for the harness frame. The spreading veins, and the 's'-shaped stabilizing pieces are all from 16 gauge. The assembly simply soldered together.
The wings are each mounted onto the harness frame by two small brass bolts, allowing the whole item to be taken apart and packed into a (large) suitcase.
Kmax treked out into a snowy, mist-kissed field with me, my Celtic harp and the girls from Faerie Friday and took these magical shots.
Well, here she be. This is about 60% as far as the coloring job I’d like to see, but part of why I’m doing the art 52 thing is not only to discipline myself (I’ll never put myself and my art as a priority if I didn’t), but also to get used to working within a time frame/deadline. If I don’t find the time to push it as far as I want in a week, it forces me to reference that fact during the next week.
I’m posting this before the weekend ends so I can hop on this week’s sketch and hopefully make myself find extra time for a better coloring job this week. I also want to incorporate the whole life cycle - birth, life, death, and whatever comes after - into each season/faerie. Summer I see as life, thus her creation of energy/sunlight.
Not sure whom I’m doing next - I’ll probably go in order and do fall. We shall see who shows up as I start sketching tonight!

Taken on Museum Row in downtown Raleigh at a Raleigh Social Group meetup greeting several new folks... including Katie's future husband, Matthew Black Power. We climbed up into a flowerbed and used the faerie lights wrapped around a tree to provide the lighting.

it's a butterfly, of course, but doesn't it look like those old fake pictures of fairies in the early days of photography?
