Outside our small safe place flies Mystery... A snake beneath the forest floor, a whisper: Melusine

The last batch of Fairy Godmother paintings I finished was back in April, by the end of that month, I had produced several more. Now my Fairy Godmothers number 69 and I told myself I would stop at that number, BUT now that I've reached 69, more ideas for new and exciting floral and herb themed Fairy Godmothers flood my mind. One Fairy Godmother that seemed to stick out like a sore thumb was this little number influenced by late 18th century fashion and history:

She seems out of place. So Fairy Godmother #57 has changed to a Lemon Lime Fairy Godmother pictured at the beginning of this batch...







Looking back at Return of the Fairy Godmothers, Attack of the Fairy Godmothers, and the original six Fairy Godmothers I created three years ago, I'm starting to put together a formula for how this series of 6X4 painted cards can be used as a new divination tool. I must admit it was something of a gimmick, something fun to whip up when I was bored, but after some time has passed, I really am believing that this project could be even more marketable than first imagined. I might take out the more famous, recognizable faces (such as John Waters and Divine) because I would have to get permission to use them for a card deck and just create other original designs, saving John and Divine for later "bonus" cards if these images ever get published. I'm still figuring out where the Fairy Godmothers are leading me. I still have a lot of writing and experimenting to do with them. I want to create more, perhaps a heirarchy of Fairy Godmother Queens patterned after the court cards of the Tarot deck. All in all, I will continue to squeeze them out of my imagination and place them here for you to preview. Enjoy them!

Now I've got to get back to work on stuff I'm actually being paid for. Plus there is a shit load of household chores I've been putting off... Yet sometimes doing chores forces out the creativity in me. I swear boredom is one of my best motivations. The more bored I get, the more I want something spectacular to do! Besides lack of a social life, this is what I do: people my world with fabulous creatures that I hope, in one way or another, help bring joy to others out there who aren't feeling inspired or loved. Let them make you feel less lonely, too. Okay, back to the real world. Thanks for letting me share my visions with you.
