Kay Mace said… - Thank yor for the info~I shall try the matte photopaper as I really like the effect, when I print on cardstock, the image isn't as sharp as I like. I have glossy photo paper, but it streaks when I print it off. And thanks for the tip on heavy paper...Well, I'm off to play! Went to the office supply store today and got bulletinboard borders with butterflies that I am going to cut up for fairy wings....bye for now. Oh yes, I would love to trade again later in the year !!

- After carefully looking at the collage and bunnygirl tag I have questions...Are your fairies printed on photo paper, the quality of the images is so nice ? Also, did you glue the images onto cardstock before you cut them out ? and the edges are so nicely beveled, do you have a special technique to get them so smooth ? ( Not trying to get all of your little secrets if they are secret, just wishing to improve the quality of my own work !) I have tried craft knives to cut things out with, but what I'm using now are little scissors that my nurse sister used to clip surgical stitches with. They have tiny sharp points on them and I can do pretty well, but always looking to do better ! Thanks again for trading, I love the little darlings ! ( and the arrival has caused quite a stir in the neighborhood~ none of my neighbor ladies has ever gotten a package from the UK before, so ladies and kids have all come to admire Flight School !!!)

- the Flight School arrived today !!!Hooray, I love it !!I really like the little fairies looking so earnest , and the boy is beginning to get impatient! The tent is wonderful, and of course the wings !! Also, thank you for the beautiful wrapping and the dear bunnygirl hangtag was such a nice surprise. See, you have taught me a lot about packaging and presentation with your gift. Thank you so much !!!

- Amanda, so glad the girls arrived in a timely manner ! I'm looking forward to my own package too ! Just visited your blog and saw the lovely acetate fairies-what a neat idea. Isn't layering wonderful, I love the 3D effects it gives. The altered eyeglass lens is so neat, You can't find those around here much but I am going to be on the lookout for something similar. The tooth fairy hangers are so cute- I love the girls' expression...Your ideas continually inspire me. I really like your bookmarks too. I did some hangtags this week and posted them on my page. I think I will copy them, add some glitter and a ribbon and m ake bookmarks with them.

- Thank you so much for liking Flying Lessons~ it actually was inspired by your comical Flight School collage, that is SO hilarious, I just chuckle when I think of it. Flying Lessons is 8 1\2 x 11, and I just added a fuschia border to it to bring out the pinks and it looks a lot better ! I would love for you to choose a piece of yours to trade and surprise me, that would be so much fun !!!!Just let me know.

- Amanda, so sorry to be tardy in replying to your message~I would love to trade for anything of yours~ I love it all !! I have not traded with anyone yet, new at this, so perhaps you could suggest a size and price range that is good for you and let me know~if you see something on my page you like, but would like in a custom piece, or altered in any way, I'd be glad to. I'm so excited that you would like to trade !

Francis Mk said… - Amanda! I'm very glad to meet you! Your work is extremelly beautiful and creative. Like you, I love fairies, but I'm just a beginner in this wonderful world.

- Amanda, your Burlesque ATC is really a hoot ! I visit your blog about every day~Don't see how you find the time ??? My sis had twins (and another in diapers) and she didn't get any sleep for three years! I think people do swaps on this site too, I would love to have the chance to have a piece of your lovely work. The economy has left me with no disposable income, or I would have purchesed several pieces of your work already !
