Life itself is the most wonderful fairytale.
Hans Christian Andersen
Hey there from Nannyland,
A "fantasy" art journal has emerged in Nannyland, which I'm excited to fill with images of fairies, mermaids, unicorns, good witches and all sorts of my favorite mythical creatures (except for maybe gnomes). Anyone familiar with my art is aware of my obsession with all things mystical. My first page for this journal is a scene with a lovely Zan Von Zed maiden on the balcony of a medieval castle, waiting for her knight in shining armor to rescue her from the fiery dragon lurking under the moat bridge. Everyone knows that she obviously could rescue herself, but then what would the handsome nobleman do while riding his mighty steed through the dark forest. He has all the majesty and strength to put that fierce dragon down, so he should just do it for the good of the villagers and the ardor of his lady. But I digress.
I used warm Copic colors for my damsel's dress and found handmade die cut flowers in my stash to brighten up the stone walls, which are created with designer paper. I used a white gel pen to highlight some of the details on her gown and added beading to her bodice. A small vellum butterfly rests on her dainty hand.
I glued designer paper to the opposite page and created the sentiment tag in Cricut Design Space with the writing and cutting features.
I'll never get tired of imagining a world where magic makes all things possible. It's such a delightful escape when the world gets too real.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
Nancy (aka Pink Panoply)
