Blue and Purple Fairy---Mary

I used several part of different collage sheets to make this fairy. I like to use silk flowers for the dresses. Clear glitter is always helpful too.

Red and Yellow Fairy---Mary

Still another variation of the collage fairies. I used silk flower on this one and wings from other collage sheets.

Fairy Book---Mary

I can use the collage sheet for more than just Paper Art Dolls. I used this on the front of a picture book and I like the way it turned out. I like the feathers and using other collage wings

Fancy Mermaid---Mary

Here is another Mermaid where I used the skirt as part of the tail.

Mermaid---Mary

Then I used the piece that could be used as a skirt for the fairy as her tail on the green mermaid. I used two star buttons for her bikini top and wanted her to have a set on wings. THis is one of the variations that I did with the collage fairy/mermaid sheets.

GOLD ANGEL---Mary

I thought I would show some more variations with some of the collage sheets of the Paper Art Dolls. This one is the gold angel and I used these pretty white leaves and the pattern for the wings....I cut the wing from some old documents that had some very old writing on them. I added alot of Gold paint. I like the way she turned out

Mary Mary Quite Contrary----Paper Dolls----Mary

This is Mary Mary Quite Contrary. She is not only a personification of myself but because I love gardening, I wanted her to love flowers and paper dolls too. When I was little, nearly every time I told someone my name, they would tell me this rhyme as if they were the very first to think theirself clever enought to say it to me as if it was the first time I heard it. I did not understand why adults did this but I got used to it and later enough made it significant to me. She is about 13 inches tall and her arms and part of her legs are movable.
