A Fairy of Pods and Petals

Have you ever noticed how some leaves and seed pods

look like tiny wings? I picked up a seed pod

while on a walk and brought it home.

Picturing them as perfect little fairy wings,

I took some pansey petals from a flower pot on my front porch

and layed them over the 'wings' for a photograph.

I have been using vintage images recently

for some mixed media projects.

Altering and embellishing them... and sprinkling with glitter.

I combined this vintage image below with my petals and pods photo.

-

I love the basket of violets

she is holding, but had to cover them up with the petal.

-

The crown on my fairy is a photo of a floral crown

I made a few days ago, it is a life-size crown,

so of course the image had to be made quite small

for The Pansey Fairy to wear.

-

All she needs now is to be added to some of my mixed media

art pieces and glittered.

-

Below is the photo that inspired the fairy of pods and petals.

Now I am seeing flowers and leaves everywhere

as tiny gowns and wings.

What amazing colors and shapes the Designer of Creation

has created for our delight!
What intricate beauty there is to behold.

-

I wonder if fashion designers also find some inspiration

for gowns in the lovely flowers of summertime?
