I love painting on book pages as I love seeing the text through the paint. I love rainbow colors as you've probably noticed. :) I love my pretty girls and I love fairies. :) See how much love there is in this piece?? :))
I came about this blog post from Polly at Pagan by Design who has dedicated 13 weeks to Earth Lovin' Activities and Inspiration as she puts it. :) And as I was writing my comment to her I realized I'm doing pretty good on the recycling stuff. :)
Recycling is a second nature to me so I rarely pat my back for doing it. But we all should from time to time. I know the earth is a mess because of us anyway and some might say that recycling is our duty per se but so many don't give a shit and the rest of us who do, should feel some pride in it and give ourselves some recognition in doing good.
I'll be back on Sunday, April 22 to share my list. :) If you want, you can join me.
I leave you with this quote:
“I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues…Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
--Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

She-is-wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm doing my part of recycling--I rescue a LOT of things--I hate the thought of them being here for a reason and then being trashed without a thought--they all have a history which is my favorite part--I have to ease up though.....
:)

I love your fairy, she is beautiful. I love the bright colors too. I recycle all that I can, and save many things to use in my art. I think that we all should do our part to take care of our world.

I love your earthy fairy- so sweet! Oh and I too love to see text peeking through the background; to me, it's a wonderful finishing effect!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF,
Stephanie
Love your fairy! She's just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI am a fanatic recycler and composter, and throw away a tiny fraction of what my neighbors do on trash day. But come recycle day, I am rolling two huge overflowing bins to the street. It's so easy for us here that it enrages me when I see so much being thrown away, or used wastefully.
She is so adorable!!! Love all the words peaking through the painting :0)
ReplyDeleteI like painting, drawing on books too. How do you stop the paper curling?
ReplyDeleteShe's so sweet! Happy Earth Day!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! this is a great post! i too love recycling, bookpaper and painting girls. i love the colors you chose for this piece! happy PPF and thank you for sharing,
ReplyDeletehugs, peggy aplSEEDS
She is delicious!!! Love her rainbow colors!!
ReplyDeleteI find myself holding onto junk mail and cardboard boxes to recycle into art!! They're starting to be hard to pass up! Happy upcoming Earth Day! :)
Yeah for Earth Day, recycling and your gorgeous painting! I love the book pages and your rainbow colors too, xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks for feedback!
ReplyDeleteI loved that quote and this girl is my favourite yet... she looks like she can take care of herself with her quiet confidence...xx
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha, love your Cotton Candy fairy...beautiful... It is great that more and more people are recycling, just a shame that not everyone does. Dr Seuss and huge favourite of mine... have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour girls are beautiful and so is your ethic!! We are big recyclers here in British Columbia Canada! My daughter travels and is shocked at how many people don't recycle!! Good for you!!
ReplyDeleteLove the vibrant colors you use too!
Happy ppf!
Hugs Giggles

ReplyDeletei LOVE your little fairy!! Especially her beautiful green eyes (with matching dress). Beautiful work! Visiting from Artists in Blogland. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely green eyed fairy! Happy Earth day living. xox
ReplyDeleteSuch a whimsical, pretty happy fairy! Love her!
ReplyDeleteLove the color of this girl!!! Happy Earth Day!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Fairy. Plan to take the workshop..
ReplyDeleteYour fairy girl is particularly pretty and perky in pink! I recylce my earlier or failed paintings by painting over them even without gesso. i let some of the old painting colors show through. And of course the texture of the dried paint adds depth. With canvas sheets that are used for studies from master artists, i cut them up in pieces to be used as ACEO. Really cool backgrounds, etc.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!! Loved the colours and yes. Earth day is so important, if only each person realised it and did ones part. Currently I am working on the same issue as well. This Saturday we even have an exhibit on "Save Our Planet".
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing:)
Beautiful! I really like how it's on the book page... it gives it some mystery. Thanks for sharing with AIB.
