    INTRODUCING MY FAERIE FIGURINNES

    Monday, November 2, 2009, 01:39 PM EST [General]

    Just in case you havent seen them - I have great pleasure in introducing my

    NEW FAERIE FIGURINES!!

    I am so thrilled with them - You can buy them in the shops or from my website -www.lindaravenscroft.com 

    all purchases from my website are signed on the bottom (ouch)!! No faeries are hurt during this process!!

    From left to right -

    Verdure - The Healing Faerie (green is the colour of growth and healing)

    The Autumns Morn - The Early Bird faerie (always catches the worm-Yuck)

    The Grump - aka my daughter Vivien - this little moth faerie has very wet wings and cant fly until they dry out - so she is very grumpy!

    The Guelder Rose - Protector of the Hedgerows.

    I do hope you like them!!

    SHINE BRIGHTLY

    Autumns Morn is on my Christmas list !
    I already have Guelder Rose and I have to say she is painted beautifully and so pretty. They remind me of the first Flower Fairy figures by Border Fine Arts - heirloom quality.You must be very proud of them Linda ^_^

    Hello and Thank you!!

    Sunday, June 15, 2008, 08:23 PM EST [General]

    Thank you to all the wonderful people who came to say Hello at the Spoutwood Festival in the USA. I was so thrilled to make it back again this year 

     I was so inspired by my time there and the enchanted magic of the place, that I created this image to celebrate the coming of Spring!

    You can see a better version of this in my photo gallery or on my website -www.lindaravenscroft.com

    Wow! Its lovely to find you here on EF {I'm always terribly late to the party}
    I bought Enchanted from you at the Fairy Fair in Canterbury at Easter; my youngest son tried to destroy your beautiful stall and you were very forgiving about it!
    Your wonderful book is now looking a bit more worn and well-thumbed as myself and everyone who visits have spent much time perusing your gorgeous art; its a great book for curling up with with a cuppa...

    Hi there! I really love your art. I bought your book on how to paint fairies and it is wonderful. I have tried many things and resources to learn how to paint, but no one has made it so I could enjoy reading it and follow along like yours! I am very impatient when it comes to painting and that is a bad thing =) I am going to have to run out and get that new book of yours! You have such beautiful art!
    thank you-
