Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It enables us to laugh at life's realities.

--Dr. Seuss

The Fantasy Collection has been the most challenging and rewarding of my designs so far. Inspiration for many of the pictures came from the nursery rhymes and fairy tales my mother shared with me as a child. She encouraged me to use my imagination to "see" fairies and magic in the ordinary.

I have also drawn inspiration from my own life experiences, and this fantasy collection has been both satisfying and healing.

It is my desire that these images will inspire happy memories for you as they have for me.

Along with using pressed flowers and greenery, I have also added feathers to some of my creations. How many can you find?
