Fairies at the Village Gardens

Just a few more fairies to get you through the day.

I love photography.  It's something that I was raised with.  I still remember the time that my father and I went to San Diego for a photo shoot at the San Diego Zoo.  It was a lot of walking and waiting, but that taught patience.  

Have you taken your camera out lately?

Jewel Rider Project - Morgana

Morgana

Hello again everyone!  Sorry for going on hiatus.  Good news!  My scanner is all fixed and I've started scanning higher resolution of my drawings.  Hooray!

That noted, let's get on to the next in my Jewel Rider Project: Morgana, Evil Wizardess of the Jungle Region.

Morgana:

Once a powerful wizard of Merlin's Council, Morgana has now been banished into the seemingly endless and void of the wild magic.  Her specialty lies in plants and vegetation; which she primarily used for potions and poisons.  Due to her specific talents, Morgana was, at one time, granted stewardship over the Jungle Region of Avalon.  However, when she began inciting the other wizards to rebel against Merlin, she and her followers were banished into the wild magic.  There, Morgana has waited patiently for a thousand years, plotting her revenge ever so patiently.

And there is one card up Morgana's sleeve that just might do the trick .....

Flashback Photo

Fairies at the Village Gardens...

Here is a picture I took last year (2016). Every year, at a little village near us, one of my neighbors is in charge of putting together an impressive Fairy display. Here is one fairy, ready to tease us that Spring is not quite here yet. :)

Please let me know if you would like to see more from her work. I can do a post with many of the pictures that I took from this event.

For some reason, I can't figure out how to make this a click on picture so that you can view it larger.  However, I do have this larger on my Facebook page: click here to view.

Special Preview

Here is a special preview of a new artwork I'll be posting soon

I think that I may well have my scanner ... somewhat figured out.  So when I post the finalized piece, be sure that it will be in better quality (with crossed fingers and lots of prayer - ha, ha!)

I will give you a hint: this is a new show interest that I picked up in 2016 ....

Day Seven Photo-A-Day

Time

I have a strong dislike for ticking clocks.  I think there's a little Captain Hook DNA in me.  Ha, ha!  Because of this, the huge clock in the computer room has no batteries.  It's stuck at 1:30.

Also, another apology for no post yesterday.  I'm still feeling very under the weather, so the thought of taking a picture of myself was just ... not going to happen.

See you Monday!

Jewel Rider Project - Anya and Kale

Introducing Queen Angelene (Anya) and Lady Kale

**DISCLAIMER: this is my version of the history of Queen Angelene and Lady Kale, since we don't get a whole lot of information from the television series.  So anything I put here is not official :)**

Anya:
Younger twin to Lady Kale, Queen Angelene is gentle and kind.  Her down-to-earth attitude led her to become Queen of Avalon, and the first bearer of the Sunstone.  Part of her schooling was spent under the tutelage of Merlin, the great wizard.  While she excelled at magic, Anya never pursued a magical career and focused more on government studies and running a household ... errr castlehold.


General Information:
Nickname - Anya
Favorite Color - Violet family
Animal - Wintermane (white tiger)


Family:
Twin sister - Lady Kale
Husband - King Jarrod
Children - Princess Gwenevere (14) and Lady Tara (9)


Physical Features:
Hair - Blonde
Eyes - Dark Blue
Skin - Fair


Favorite Food - Strawberries


Kale:
Elder twin to Queen Angelene, Lady Kale's temper is as well renowned as her taste for power and gold.  Like Anya, Kale was tutored in magic by Merlin, the Great Wizard, but soon discovered that there were other resources.  She had a natural aptitude for magic, however, her eternal jealousy of the favored Anya (and subsequent willingness to use Dark Arts) prevented her from receiving an enchanted jewel from Merlin.  However, Kale soon found a way to remedy the situation by procuring the Dark Stone, which she stumbled upon during the search for Wizard's Peak and a new teacher.


General Information:
Nickname - none
Favorite Color - Red and gold
Animal(s) - Grimm (dragon); Rufus and Twigg (Dweasels - aka dragon weasels)


Family:
Twin sister - Queen Angelene
Nieces - Princess Gwenevere and Lady Tara


Physical Features:
Hair - Ebony
Eyes - Dark blue
Skin - Fair

**One final note: I'm still trying to make friends with my scanner, so the image quality for the next few art pieces may not be up to par.  I apologize and will try to replace images in the future with something that looks better.  :) **

Day 4 & 5 Photo-A-Day

Bonjour!

Here is Day 4:

Animal

I don't actually have any pets at the moment, so I'll have to do something slightly different for this day.  :)  You may recognize little Pua from Moana:

And Day 5:

My Favorite Thing

This reminds me of the song "My Favorite Things" from the Sound of Music.  When I was 8 years old, I received a Russ Troll dressed as a Ballerina.  I've kept her to this day, and even tried to expand her wardrobe. 

Did you have any Troll dolls?  They were VERY popular in the 1990's (which is when I got mine) and it seems like they've risen in popularity again with the release of the new movie in 2016.  However, the interesting thing about Russ Trolls is that they never had copyright to the idea of "Troll" so they are no longer allowed to make them. (The copyright went to the original 1960-1970 troll dolls under the company Dam - pronounced Dom - and it took them 40 YEARS of fighting to make that happen).

Anyway, a little trivia for you. ;)
