Artwork In a Butterfly Garden | Map Fairy Tale Adventures of Tiny Angels




Artwork In a Butterfly Garden | Map Fairy Tale Adventures of Tiny Angels

I will draw the wind
the sea
the dream.
I will draw
art work in butterfly garden
and pictures of cats and dogs.
I find my treasures hidden
but kept safe by tiny angels.
I map faery tale adventures
Tiny angels
guard a world unknown to me
as yet.
I will not consider impossible.
I will take out my pen and draw
whimsical musicians artwork
whimsical angel pictures
enchanted fairies.
I will find my muse
contemplate its rhythm
stroke its complexities
stamp out reservations...
they hold no place here!
I will collect whimsical angels
innocent angel they be
and introduce them to enchanted faries
I will make drawing of the phoenix bird
legends of mermaids will attest to their flight.
I am a fantasy art warrior woman
no dragon can block my pathway.
Enchanted arms walkthrough
I will always stay amused.
Elves in folklore and myths abound
I hear the one winged angel calling.
Never limit the undefined
never accept limits at all.
Offer free poems
set them on the doorstep
of any given traveler.
How to draw flames
how to draw winter
how to bring the fairies home again.
I steady my Viking ship
and produce coloring pages
for children and their mothers.
Pixies fairies
elves
colouring pictures
whimsical musicians artwork
never ending pleasure.

Ahh yes!
I map faery tale adventures
and keep them safely inside my pocket.

Baby Handprint Poem




Baby Handprint Poem

I listened for your breath
held my head close to yours
as you lie sleeping
Soothing sounds
as my whimsical angel dreams.

I will tell you stories of
butterfly gardens
puppies and kittens
legends of mermaids
fantasy faires
and affirmations of love.

An image
of your tiny baby handprint
I will keep inside a book
dear and sweet memories
held close to my heart.

I smell the sweetness of you
the softness of your skin.
Sweet miracle and blessing
to my life.
Mommy loves you
treasures your handprint
I hold your little hand
show you the way
as rainbows sing your song.

My dear and treasured angel
just beginning your life
I will watch you on your way
your little footprints
deciding your path
I will catch you before you fall.

Oh my tiny angel
I will gather moonbeams for you
give you everything a baby needs
and as you grow older
I will encourage you
to be steady your feet.

Growing up my parents had a pair of bronze shoes. Yes, these were my baby shoes. I LOVED those baby shoes of course.

A box years later was unpacked by my mother holding yet another pair of my baby shoes.
"Wow' I thought, "They must have really love me!"

One day when I was about 16 we visited my Grandmother. She came out of her bedroom with yet another pair of bronzed baby shoes.
"Here" she said to me, "I believe these are your bronzed baby shoes".

I look puzzled and I guess a bit upset. How many baby shoes could one baby wear?

The truth had to come out!

Turns out my parents tried their hand at bronzing baby shoes, wanting to start a little cottage industry. NONE of the baby shoes were mine. WAAA!

"She Could Almost Touch Them"



"She Could Almost Touch Them"

This is a drawing I did with the intention of painting it. And...I did! I changed it some. One thing I did was add a little Monk Seal off into the distance. I am still looking at this painting for a bit more. I often do that to see what should be changed or enhanced, if anything. I will post the little darling soon.

Blessings!

My site is very different now... and I have FREE gifts just for signing up for my mailing list. A wonderful letter from the toothfairy for one. Go sign up and get your FREE GIFTS!! www.kathysart.com

Kisses!

Mermaid Babies New Friend



There is a NEW Mermaid Baby painting that I will post soon. In the meantime check out my message below:


Fantasy Art Woman | Beautiful Women Goddess Art |kathysart.com

Coming Soon! Sign up on my comments and receive a free gift!

Be sure to signup for my mailing list I will from time to time offer free magical gifts. I'll also have a bit of fairy advise on mermaid, goddess, whimsical angel pictures, and other fantasy delights, gifts and ideas! Or sign up just to say, "Hi!"

Sign up 'this month' on my mailing list and receive a free printable letter from the tooth fairy. Ahhh yes, I know this tooth fairy well, her name is Dallyanna. She is most eloquent with lavender bows and ribbons attached to tiny pink satin roses on a whimsical sky blue chiffon dress. Her hair is held fast by a wreath of stephanotis and lobelia blossoms found from trees on African mountains where she is often seen traveling. She fills the air with laughter and always makes me happy. Soft fairy dust meets her pathway as mist wherever she flies as one might suspect. Once in awhile she flutters by just to say hello and offer a bit of conversation or to share her love of poetry. We sit at a round glass table topped with a white linen tablecloth and dine on green tea and crumpets. I always have special jams and jellies on hand to impress my dear guest of magic. Dallyanna often advises me on what gifts my friends, like you, might enjoy. We have a splendid time together as she shares legends of mermaids and her adventures of gifting children in exchange for their treasured tiny teeth.

My other gift to you this month is a "legends of mermaids" drawing. You can print it out for cards; transfer it to shrink art and use as a magnet or sun catcher; use it as a coloring page or reduce the size for clip art or stationary accent, just to name a few ideas.

PLEASE NOTE: My gifts to you are available for free use ONLY for non-profit, personal use only, and not to be distributed in any way or form. -Kathy
