Dear robinbird,

Yes! You would be perfect paper avalon fairie and I would be the flower petal fairie dancing all around your green branches!

BTW, Elsita shared which scissors she uses on her paper blog. I'm putting them on my Christmas wish list!

Dear Elsita,

The honor is mine! I have admired your work since I first discovered the blogosphere. Thank you for gracing the world with your artistry!

These are beautiful. I love the one with the flower petals and the illustration is wonderful too. I love the colors in it.

Dear Jemm,

I'm glad you like Elsita's art. She has other examples of flower petal fairies on her main blog. I used to know a little girl who used to make little fairy homes from leaves and twigs. They are simply charming.
