Fairy Tales and Frogs. I have always loved Fairy Tales and Fables and this has been the subject of my latest illustrations. But i have never been what you would call a "Princess" a sugar coated pink creation.I was more a tom boy seeking out the more twisted tales and there is a lot of twisted tales when you read beneath the Disney gloss.
One part of the fairy tales i can identify with is Frogs, and lots of em !! Yeuckk !
Had to kiss a few frogs in my time !!! and i have a bit of a fear of them in case they jump down my top !
When i read Fairy Tales i often wondered what happened to the other characters like the Ugly sisters ?
So here are some of my latest work...i really enjoyed creating them and want to do some more.These are ACEOS , that i made for my ETSY shop http://www.etsy.com/people/LittleNore but i was thinking maybe prints or paintings- develop them further
So what are your favourite Fairy Tales or Fables ? Would love to hear from you

charming!
I always wanted to try doing ACEOS but sometimes I think I've spread myself to thin as it is. Good luck with the ETSY sales.
Adorable!
Have you (or considered) printing fabric? Would look fabulous
Thanks Di for the good luck, i feel i need it with ETSY it is so complicated getting people to find your shop...anyway if you do try ACEOS i would love to see them :D
Cajame i would love to do printed fabric if i could find out how to get my designs printed them i would go for it. :D
Hello Heidi! I like frogs too and I think they generally behave much better than princes do. It must be because they are not so conceited! I live right next to a beautiful river and I can hear a serenade of frogs every night. They never sing out of tune ;) Your sketches are beautiful, I'm looking forward to more!
Hi there -- read the comments about printing your own fabric. Do you know about Spoonflower?
http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome
I've never used them personally, so can't give a testimonial, but it may be something worth looking into!
Love your fairy tale themed characters; I, too, am always inspired by the same. :-)
ersi - the serenade from frogs sounds magical :D
Megan- thank you for the info on spoonflower- really helped me, hoping to get some fabric printed in the next few weeks :D
Oh, great! Glad the tip was helpful. :-)
