Nice postcards
I'm participating with Neil Gaiman's board to a postcard circle.
How to is simple, you get in with your postal address and then you recieve the list of the people who's in and then you send your postcard once a month to someone.
I never do things like everybody, so I created two little nice postcards.
Here they are :
The first one is a collage of dry flowers and butterflies wings (i didn't kill them, I found them in my attic, already dead..) then i add some resin to hold everything. It's been made on a linen card siezd 10x15 cm.
The second one is a collage like scrapbooking, made with little paper cuts and acrylic paints. Like the other one I add some resin and the size and medium are the same.
They were made in september 2007 and posted last month, they reached their owners so I can post them.

Season's fairies !!
This week end, i had a little time for me and the weather was on my side, sunny and warm (I tanned a little ... great !!!) so I get the tools outside, put a little t-shirt and go creating !!!
Saturday i decided first to create shapes in clay to hold my Fimo's creations while making and cooking.That's what you saw in grey in the picture under the chest. It's impossible to make the shapes in Fimo Soft, it's too soft and it would be a waste of it.
I first put the shape and mold a body.
Then I had an idea of a Spring Fairy, with a dress like a flower upside down.
3/4 front view, I love this kind of shapes Fimo can take like real fabric sometimes.
From the back, nice dress...
From right side view, I know she got a very generous chest.
After the making of the second skirt, corset, harms and head. At the back my little Christmas Fairy watches over, maybe a little jealous of the nice "froufrou" dress.
With the red hair, guess why, and a slightly thinking pose, I realized after cooking that whe had a very round belly, the little one had hidden me she was pregnant, but nothing very surprising for a Spring Fairy anyway.
Soon more news, and the Christmas Fairy gets annoyed in her corner and show her blue wings.
And there comes the one I did on sunday.
From the same idea I told myself : a spring fairy, why not a Summer one.
I'm not fully satisfied with her, actually, she is way to small compare to the size of her head and harms, i'll probably add an other wkirt under the first one to make her taller.
From front, always this effect of fabric I love, this time the theme for the dress was green leeves and flowers on them.
One more :
So... she's pretty anyway, i just have to paint the face.
I hope you like what I do ... if you do please leave a little comment ...

My little fairy in Fimo
I did this little fairy for my mother for Christmas and then I forgot to pack her and finally to offer the gift... shame on me. But it's not bad, it makes you enjoy it and mre than everything, it will help me make an other one.
She's made in Fimo past, she got blue wings and little ears coming out of her pointed hat and ... i guess the pictures are better than words :
So it is, there's a lot of things to change on her, maybe brush the wings with a little gold... i'm thinking.
I always work on instinct, i never do things on emergency. it's when the fabric or matter is in my hand that ideas come. Right now, I'm into sexing, tomorrow... who knows.
And to end today, where she stays at home, in the chimney, posed on a candle holder.
