One of my favorite images to use in collage are fairies, I’m not sure why but I’m really drawn to them. I loved fairies and gnomes when I was little so I guess that’s always stuck with me. I usually use copies of old photographs for my fairies (I really love old photos of children for these) and add wings, usually butterfly wings and I like to make crowns for them too using metal paper or metal foil sheets. Here’s 2 I did recently, the backgrounds are pages from an old French text book mounted on cardstock, and I inked the edges and I just added a few embellishments to finish them off.
