Verda: a tree fairy

About 6 years before I attempted a second fairy figurine and then because I had this image in my head that I was trying to flesh out and paint. Verda was formed of paper mache and glue sticks, she was painted green with acrylic then hot glue sticks were dripped over the paint to create tree texture. Silk leaves were her palette and fairy wings and an artificial plant stamen was the paintbrush. In my original concept she wore an acorn beanie and a sheer pinafore.

Luna: My First Fairy

She was lumpy, bumpy, anatomically disproportioned, and her facial features were, to say the least, homely. Her hair and wings were from white feathers. Her dress of white satin, she held a large round white pearlescent bead in her hand to represent the moon, and sported rhinestones for eyes. I suspended her from silver thread so she looked as if she were I have no idea what happened to her. I regret not saving her and am grateful to have discovered even these poor photographs. I continue to hope I will locate her or at least run across some better pictures someday.
