I wanted to create a very delicate and detailed fairy. She is dancing in the air with dragonflies surrounding her.
About Fairies:
Lore of fairies, faeries, or fay/fey are abundant in many cultures throughout
the world. Fairies are nature entities endowed with the powers of magic
and enchantment. They go by various names in a variety of cultures -
in Greek they are nymphs, in Arabic they are the djinn or jinni (genie),
the Scandanavians have trolls, the Germans elves and the British pixies.
Sometimes they are also known as brownies. They can be good or demonic,
but typically they are mischievious and live in the natural world, such
as meadows and forests. If you are lucky, they may even enchant your
garden. The fairy religion was also known as the Goddess religion in
Europe. Morgan le Fay was also known as Morgan the Fairy, and the Isle
of Avalon and her part of the Arthurian legend was one of the last vestiges
of Goddess worship.
