My goodness, a lot can happen in a short time. I have been working on a "Scrapbook" of sorts called Fairy Fashion, (of course) and I am almost done with it. I have put all my Fairy drawings together with my fairy ideas and made them into a book.
Almost all my drawings were not colored, and I wanted them to be, so I copied all my drawings and colored the copies multiple times to find the perfect color scheme for each one.
Then I scanned in all the good coloring jobs and adjusted each one's size on the computer and printed them out again. I cropped them and that was the basic finish for the drawing part of Fairy Fashion.
Then came the "made up knowledge" part of the scrapbook. I have to admit that creating a whole style of clothing and a bunch of strange lands for fairies had some challenges, but it took about four years to come up with it. I made it in the style of a nature journal and even have sample scraps of fabric from fairy clothes in it.
I am going to enter it into our county fair through 4-H in the imagination category so maybe this project is going to really be worth all the effort. Maybe soon I will post some pictures of it to my blog.

ReplyDeleteThat is such a neat idea! I am so wowed that you got it all finished! I have been drawing paperdolls for about nine years and I have, over that time, made up their own world and stuff and it's actually very complex now. as i get older i keep adding things onto it. i have tried to write a scrapbook type thing on it but haven't got very far. :) there's just so much to write about! but i wish i could see your book, it sounds so inspiring and intriguing! you know, you've given me an idea. i think i want to start a new blog - for my paperdolls. i can write all sort of things about them, just like you write about faeries on your blog. oh i am getting so excited!
ReplyDeletewow you are very inspiring you know. :)
