Day 4 - 30 Days of Inspiration - Fairies, Faeries, Fae, Deva, Nature Spirits, Sprites!

Welcome friend to Day 4 of my 30 Days of Inspiration!  Today I'm sharing my love of fairies, also known as faeries, fae, devas, nature spirits, sprites and "the little people".  I love drawing, painting, reading and writing about fairies.  In 1999 I started to draw and make fairy dolls.  I really enjoyed the process.  I also started to write some stories - I feel its time to revisit those now!  I'm lucky to live near to woodland and moorland - favourite fairy hang outs!  My favourite fairy artists are Josephine Wall www.josephinewall.co.uk, Kylie Ingold http://ingoldart.net/, Mitzi Sato-Wiuff http://www.aurorawings.com/ and Sulamith Wulfing (link to a biography) http://www.bpib.com/wulfing.htm and Brian and Wendy Froud http://www.worldoffroud.com/.
