The Fairy Without Wings - Book Swap

Here is what I created for the Book Swap: (all pictures were taken by the recipient as I forgot to get decent pictures before I shipped it)

The stick pins with a pin cushion

The book

I knew almost right away what the basis of my idea would be.  I wanted to cut out the cover and put the plastic inside to create a window.  I had planned for fairies inside as well with other things.  Reality strikes as you create though, and plans must change.  I created the fairy and discovered there wasn't much room left for the wings, so I went searching for the name of a fairy without wings and found the Disney book.  I used artistic interpretation for my piece.  Everything except the dragonfly is hand sculpted and hand painted.  The dragonfly comes from my collection of pieces that I use for jewelry creation.  I am probably the most "tickled" at the pages in the book, they look real!  This is the Fairy Book I created.  Where the story resides inside ready to come to life when you open the cover.
I purchased a copy of the Disney book to send to my partner as she has a young daughter.  This way they both have the story and can share the reading together.
