Faerie Things and Butterfly Wings

I'm new to this size of artwork, but I'm learning! My pieces start as larger originals, which I scan and "shrink" for my jewelry designs. It was putting my artwork on jewelry that got me to thinking I should start making these fun little collectible prints. For my first "show and tell" here at Art Cards 365, here are a couple of butterfly-themed fairies.
















In "Fairy Dust," a watercolor fairy sits before the full moon releasing magical fairy dust into the startlit sky.
















I created this fairy portrait, called "Faerie Carnivale," to use as a cameo for a silver metal clay and wire wrapped jewelry piece that I was entering in a contest sponsored by Fire Mountain Gems. I just found out this week that this jewelry piece was selected for the second round of judging. Wish me luck!

Both 2.5" X 3.5" ACEOs are available in my Kell's Creations shop on Etsy.
