For Mother's Day my daughter bought me a pocketbook with a keychain that had my name engraved it. Of course the first time I used it, I ended up spilling some coffee on it.
I decided to paint something over the stain. I chose a little fairy by my favorite fairy artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith http://www.strangeling.com
This is a copy of Jasmine Becket-Griffith's original painting (used with the permission from the artist)....I just changed the colors a bit to match the pink on my bag.
I like the way it came out and wanted to share it with you!
