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.
These are some faerie ladies I made (not all finished), plus an adorable Red Riding Hood stamp I didn't make.
Each faerie represents a different season.
The good spirit of the forest is hiding somewhere in this picture... be careful if you're sensitive, she's naked.
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!

Finally got some pics of my Amethyst Faerie, I just finished her hair a couple of hours ago. She is made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton, and real amethyst beads for her ball-joints. Now she just needs a dress!

Long ago there was a beautiful girl with a free spirit who loved nothing more than music and dancing and her freedom.
When the time came for her to be married, her father chose a man of high regard from another prominent family. The girl wanted nothing of it, so she ran to the hills to play her fiddle and dance away her sorrow.
The hill was a hollow one though, and the faerie prince who dwelt beneath it heard the music and came out to see the lovely girl dancing there.
He was besotted with her beauty and her skill and gave to her a flower, promising that if she would love him he would see to it that she was never confined by the will of others.
That was long ago, but even then faerie tales rarely come true.
Bridget Carroll's story began with that flower and with a grave of water.
