~*~Gathering the Magic~*~ I bet you wondered where Fae get their magic from I asked a child one day. The child answered with this wise reply, "Why from starshine and moonbeams". I walked away happy that day, for the belief is still so strong in that one small child. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had this picture sitting around, and actually had used her altered a bit in another image. But still wanted to do something with her. Soooooooo This was my yesterday project. The 'tale' is mine, for most wee ones still do believe. Unfortunately in todays world many do not, I pray that the tales and magic is passed on for a strong belief in the others makes not only for a vivid imagination but a creativity that makes great authors and great artists... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Colored pencils on black paper.
