I was in the hospital when I drew this lovely little faery. I did not start drawing with the idea of a faery sitting on a pin cushion. I didn't imagine her with those quilted wings--she just sort of evolved that way as I worked with my pencil.
She is stunning, sissie. I love the arm bangles especially. And the wings. And her dress. And her beautiful face. And her wings. And the pincushion. And .......
A midget who told me, when I was depressed about people making fun of me because we had no money and no new clothes and I was wearing everything second handed. He told me, "You are the only one in the world, make the most of it."

FILLS MY EYES...
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.
My Camera and Me
I carry my camera everywhere I go. Here you see one of my Cloud Paintings. I find unusual shapes, faces, animals in just about everything, especially clouds. Often I am able to enhance or "paint" my photos so others can see what my imagination has revealed.
What an honor to be a featured artist for this wonderful webpage!

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I have not a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me Lord." -- Darlene Pringle, Artist

Ah... your magic pencil! There must be a faery inside your pencil box, too.

Love the soft of her sit. She best be careful though. I hear Fairy bottoms are sensitive!
