Well, having spent the last three days working on the final of the four, this is the result. I had to try and make the features of the fairy the same as in the previous painting, which was quite difficult, but since the she was on the other profile I could get away with it not being quite exactly the same! It's so difficult to make exact copies with wax! The dragon was easy though. I was told to try and make him look as though he was protective of her, so I had him coiling his tail round her as they were alerted to something unseen that startled them. And like the last one, this also has a huge title!

Thanks, Ros! I'm afraid I can't take credit for the water splashes really. I used Jinny's technique of picking up the wax with the stylus and blowing it onto the card. I used masking tape to screen off the bits I didn't want splashed (didn't press it on too much though in case it lifted the wax) and took great care not to burn my lips!

If the woman doesn't like them (which must be near impossible) then it's quite obvious that she has no taste The 4 of them make up a wonderful picture book. You're so talented and I'm so jealous What can I say....fabulous Well done Maria!

Oooh John...jealousy is such a negative energy! Never give it houseroom, myself!
Anyway.....you have no need of it....your work is good!I think the lady in question (judging by her previous mails) will be exceedingly pleased. I feel that she and I are on the same wavelength, though her muse (as she keeps going on about) is writing! Maria x |

Hi M - only a thought and expect it's been said somewhere else - but when you blow - what about cutting a drinking straw down to a couple of inches and blowing through that (think the whole straw would take a lot of puff) ?? Love x |

Thanks for that Terry...I did try that but....I used a plastic straw, got it too near the end of the stylus and they connected and.....um.....It melted!
I'll stick with what nature gave me I reckon! Maria x |
