It's quiet activity time when the heat soars and we haven't got time to hit the water or duck inside a movie theatre. I like to think of these hotter than heck afternoons, our "dog days" of summer, as free time for more creative fun.
Here we have a fun little scene from our archives, this one about a fairy, an apparently talking (?) fish, one girl, and one boy. There is no doubt what is more interesting here, the fairy or the fountain. I guess I would like a dip in the refreshing spray, or a full dunk as deep as I could get! ;)
But for now, let's imagine how that fairy's story might be told. Who are the two children in this picture? And where does this picture show? It's obviously a very formal garden, with fruit trees at one end. How many ways could we tell this story? What sort of ending might be more fun? Or, how does a fish get to have so much importance in a storyline?
I'll leave the answers up to the viewer, of course!
As is our habit here at PPS, we include both versions of the picture's look for you. Each item will print within borders on an 8 1/2" by 11" regular sheet of office paper. Our printable Downloadable Versions of old and B&W looks come reformatted for print, something we neglected to do before in our other posts with larger sized ephemera, and are seeking to rectify soon in our older posts, wherever necessary.
We hope you'll enjoy our fun with Fairies this hot weekend.
Happy Creativity!
