Early Fairy Collages

I have started a facebook page for On The Wind Art and was looking through photos to find some to post.  These I'm sharing today are some of my first collages, before I began painting fairies in watercolor.  These collages really have a unique look, though they are extremely time consuming.  The fairies were drawn on cardstock and carefully cut out.  Their wings and clothes were glued on, almost like paper dolls!  The background trees were also meticulously cut from interesting paper, then painted.  In the "Undine" collage, most of the elements were made from paste papers I had created earlier.

"Spring Beauties"

"Through the Knothole"

"Undine"

"Pearl"

Hope you fairy lovers out there enjoy these!
