Silly Saturated Fairy Queen

Silly Saturated Fairy Queen

Uploaded: September 29, 2007

Description

This is the Silly Saturated Fairy Queen from Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival which is a celebration of the diversity of this area's music and art scene. The Fairy Queen is somewhat like a mime and she mostly stood as still as a statue but every now and then started 'bopping' to the music of nearby bands. Quite a sight to behold!!! I thought I would imortilize her within an abstract of my hydrangea with decorations compliments of Corel XI's picture tube and posterization. Hope there's not to much purple for you Steve!

Thank you so much Dianna! You are such a kind soul to give me such a wonderful comment. I think you will have No trouble coming up with something awesome...Your work thus far shows excellent creativity! As for any recognition from BP on this, we'll see...but you just gotta love it when poo can get you an EFP!!! #4862676

Marta ... this is fabulous! Absolutely fabulous! I love everything about it! The presentation, symmetrical layout, fabulous colouring ... I never made it to Bumbershoot this year or I'm sure I would have recognized her! Dernit! Steve will love the purple hues. (isn't he the one that said taunting is encouraged?) :snicker:

lol Dianna! You did what with pooh? #4862737

Marta J. Baldwin September 29, 2007

Thank you very much Crystal! Bumbershoot was awesome this year...No rain! Taunting is definately encouraged but I think we're only supposed to titter...no snickering. Just kidding! I think we can all laugh out loud while picturing Steve viewing all the purple that will surely come his way! #4862857

Crystal L. Craig September 29, 2007

Steve M. Harrington September 29, 2007

You girls are out of control with this purple! When will I learn to keep my mouth shut? It looks to me like the fairy queen is fleeing the purple attack. :)

Marta J. Baldwin September 30, 2007

I beg to differ! I think she's welcoming the beautiful purple hues with open arms! And, please don't keep your mouth shut...It's far to much fun for us to try and aggravate you! #4864436

Colleen Farrell October 01, 2007

Wow, wow, wow!! Marta, this is so fabulous (thanks for posting the original, too)! The effects you chose fit her SO well, I just love it!!! The composition is excellent, too--I love how she's in the middle, and all the butterflies and flowers are arranged so symmetrically around her. Reminds me of a poster from the 60's, and I can really imagine her breaking into a groove now and then, LOL! #4871734

Thank you so much Colleen! I am inspired musically and artistically by the sixties and it definately shows in this one! #4872409
