WHO KNEW......

FLOWER FAIRY......

THE MERMAID......

BABY IN A TEACUP......

I have always been a bit of a non conformist, ok, ok I have always been a huge non conformist.
This I know to be true about myself if there is a different drum to dance to the beat of I will always find it......

As a young girl this got me into more hot water than I can count and made life very difficult on many occasions. That said I would not change a thing and I love being in the 2% of thinking outside of the box......

Now on the subject of thinking outside of the box, I am really getting into this digital altered art form. It is honestly the best fun I have had in ages without getting into trouble. I began working with this software about 9 months ago and was doing the more every day stuff but this last while I have really let my imagination lead me. These three lastest creations of mine are the direction I find myself going in......

The first picture is my idea of Cicely Barker's flower fairy and if I were to see one in the garden this is what I hope she would look like. The second is a beautiful mermaid, as a little girl I used to dream that I was a mermaid and would imagine myself swimming with the fish. My last digital picture has its inspiration from the hot air ballons I see in the park behind my home. This is how I would like it to look in my minds eye and I think it would be fun to fly off in a cup and saucer to ventures new......

One of my favourite author's to read to my son was Enid Blyton and I would read to him The Wishing Tree and The Flying Chair. I think this has had a great affect on me or maybe I need to take a sedative......

Anyway I hope you like these new digital pictures and enjoy the flights of fancy they take you on, happy journey......

Hello Maureen... I love your new images! Of course, the flower fairy is my very favorite! You are so cute... my imagination got me into alot of little escapades growing up too... nothing serious though! My mama actually encouraged my vivid imagination and read fairytales and make~believe stories to us from an early age on... I am so happy she led me in that direction! I hope you enjoy creating all of these beautiful images... they are wonderful! xoxo Julie Marie
