Beginning of Fairies" - poetry of J M Barre. Pressed flower and calligraphy print
"When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about and that was the beginning of fairies."

Clematis, coreopsis, hydrangea, and dianthus are the pressed flower fairies and the calligraphy script is vertical italic.

Notecards from QuilliGraphy are perfect for the new baby and the nursery. Personalization is available. Combine a matching notecard with the framed piece for an elegant gift.
Check with me about the availability of frames.

I like to use the italic calligraphy script when the words are a poem or several verses. The fairies are made from the petals of the flowers. I guess J M wrote this when he was taking a break from Peter Pan

I make my own colored calligraphy ink from gouache, water and gum arabic and also use dip pens for the lettering.
The cards are giclee prints of my original artwork and I print them on recycled pale ivory cardstock. They are 4.25 x 5.5 inches and have matching envelopes

It is a blank note card so you can add your own special words. The beauty of the card says the rest. Why not get several so you have them on hand?
