The tiger lily is wonderful. It looks so great in colour, Carole, darling. Little sleepyhead.

Thank you. I've a strong urge to move this into scraps, but I'm holding on. It was fun to do a piccie in a day, it makes a change for me to do something quick

way too bright for my tastes, but the orange and purple set eachother off very nicely!

How wonderful. The colors are beautiful, and I love the transparence of the wings. I'm sure you'll have no trouble winning this one. Great job!

Thank you. The closing date for the comp was the 15th and the winner was supposed to have been chosen then, so I assume it wasn't me If I'm honest, I can't wait to move this to my scraps. It's just not the type of work I want to be producing at the moment. Still, it was a good exercise and it was fun to produce something in one day for a change.

I understand. Well, that's too bad. I really like it. I always like work that takes one day to complete.

Thanks. I would make sure it didn't have as much detail as this. People have said it would be painful to do that skirt part

because i'm a nerd i read through the first page of comments, and your girl from nantucket poem was hilarious
i like the lear glossy feeling then wings have they remind me of contact lenses for some reason

Thanks. It's funny how it's much easier to write nonsense rhymes, rather than do my poetry assignments for uni

Thanks. Yes, I was being a bit naive with regards the amount of detail which needs to go into a tattoo design

not to worry, there are tat artists that could do it...they're rare, and not cheap, of course...but they do exist

It might look better without all the detail for a tattoo anyway, you know? It might all run together, it'd be better just to have a plain skirt.

You're probably right about that.

I always wanted a tattoo but I'm such a sissy! Although I did manage to get through child birth!

CaroleHumphreys In reply to kayceeus [2006-08-10 01:35:33 +0000 UTC]

I've not got any tattoos either, but then again I'd want a master painter as the tattoo artist if I were ever brave enough to have a tattoo. I did the childbirth bit twice, and thankfully, I'll not know that pain again. They do say that if men had to be the ones to give birth, the human race would die out

Cool! And you were supposed to be doing poetry! I like how your fairies are usually wearing some pretty loud, funky stockings. It makes them less delicate and gives them a more "real," fun-loving character. A good liripiped hat in similar stripes would be kind of cool. --Faile35

Thanks. I knocked this one out Saturday while I was at work, then found I couldn't draw a thing the next day; my failure to keep up with my writing commitments could be part of it. I'll just have to resort to writing lewd limericks, I guess

There was a girl from Nantucket
who posted nude pics on Photobucket.
Her husband keeled over
through her raunchy exposure
and his grieving widow said, *'Oh dear.* [*perhaps]

As a drawing this is beautiful as always. But as a tattoodesign there are too many little details, you won't be able to do it like that, or if you are, it would not look this pretty after 10 years. But as an inspriration for the tattooartist it is very useful and nice. And I hate this new design of DA. Am I blind or what...
