This is a preview of my art collaboration with @everlove for her INVITATION: Collaborative Art Journey..." L I F E S T A N D S S T I L L ".
This week @everlove posted A Tribute to @opheliafu. Our Journey Together Through Art. about our time at SteemFest and the journey of our art collaborations together. So, obviously I was going to join in with this most recent call to the art community to collaborative on another Collaborative Art Journey.
So let me share with you my art journey so far on this collaborative project...
I took @everlove's original image on the right, turned it around and changed the hues to blue.
When I looked closely at @everlove's original image I thought I could see the outline of an eye and hair, so I used this as the inspiration for my drawing. I wanted to make the drawing about something growing inside an egg.
I began sketching some ideas and came up with 3 different versions of a 'rain fairy' growing inside a dew drop egg. My designs were drawn in drawing ink using a dip pen, colour was added with watercolours.
'Rain Fairy - version 1'
'Rain Fairy - version 2'
Taking my Favourite parts from version 1 and version 2, I created the 3rd and final version of 'Rain Fairy'.
'Rain fairy - version 3'
So why is this only a preview and not the final piece?
Well I haven't told you the story of the Rain Fairy and the ants yet!
I found it fascinating the difference it made to turn @everlove's original image around the other way and then change the colour. At this stage it reminded me of a marble ~ Which I've always loved, but come to think of it, haven't seen for many years now.
And then I loved how my 'marble' became a dew drop egg for you. Amazing symbolism ~ Water of life.
Love the bright freshness of your loose watercolour ~ And of course the water fairy, in all her different postures. 🙏❄️🎊❄️🙏

I've just read the story of the Rain Fairy and the Armies of Ants. Truly heartwarming and uplifting. You have a remarkable gift for both writing and illustration that I find really inspiring. I love the value you add in all you do.
I haven't drawn for a VERY long time ~ Gradually starting to again now. Years ago I did a series of drawings of marbles in different situations. Can only recall one of them: A marble in colour detail as a drop earing on a line drawing of a face.
Love the combination of simple line drawings with a small area of colour detail ~ As in the stages you have here. Lovely in their own right. 🌺🐜🌺
