Her face came from a really neat Valentine's postcard I found at the Postcard show here a few weekends ago.
I like how her hearts on her wings pick up the hearts in her eyes. She has one major fault, but even faeries have faults I suppose. I made a big mistake and after I used the eyelets to put her together, I decided I needed to make her sturdier, so I brushed gel medium on her and sprayed her with Acrylic. Well, if you ever make one, don't do that! It just acted as a glue, so I can't move her arms and legs! Next time I'll know better..she was a lot of fun to do...and goes well with my toile in the kitchen as you can see!
See her up in my curtains! She is a little dickens!
I told her I'd prefer she live in the ivy, it makes her stand out more!
Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly! ~Author Unknown

She certainly fits in in the kitchen with all of the red. Very clever idea. Glad you shared about the trial and error with the spray and all, I hate it when a project goes bad.
She's beautiful! I love toile, and strangely enough so does my hubby!! I don't think too many men would say they like it but he does.
Don't you hate it when you take that extra step in a project and you should have just left it alone! But I think she looks good even if she can't move.
Long Live the Queen!!!!
She is beautiful!
She is wonderful! Quite the little beauty!
