My fairies.....via Suzi Blu fairy class....

I am taking a mixed media fairy class via Suzi Blu and these are some of the fairies I have come up with so far. These are my quick sketches of the 5 fairies we will be working with...and 2 of the mixed media paintings I have completed so far. My fairy Godmother "Beseder" (Hebrew for "alright" or "okay") cause I feel a fairy Godmother should and always does make you feel like everything is going to be "okay." Like a mom usually does. I think that a fairy Godmother is like a mother...or sort of....someone who "should" always be there telling you everything will be alright...turn out okay..no matter what. (WHICH I know will and always does...but..it is nice to have someon...e telling you this or reminding you from time to time). She is the one who should help mend broken hearts...support your dreams...tell you to never give up on any dreams no matter how fairy-tale like they may be..because dreams do and can come true. She always has open arms...and is there to give you unconditional love and guidance...but always supportive....etc. I found it interesting..when I tore the paper from below and put it on the canvas...it lined up perfectly where I was going to paint a heart....in her hands...and it looks now like she is holding or putting back together a broken heart ...because the line that is torn runs directly through the heart! Interesting how things sometimes work out like that without any plans at all
