Back cover picture - Fairy and Folk Tales Art Journal

I found this traditional ending of Folk Tales and was immediately drawn to it.

I enjoy the colourful imagery of fairy tales with their hidden morals and teachings, so this little poem seemed befitting as the last page.

I was also inspired my medieval manuscripts. I have used a teabag to age the white paper, then a pen and ink, acrylic paints and fibrous paper for the art work as well as glimmer mists and stamps stamp pads. When I selaed everything with beeswax, the lower part of the letter T came off, I guess this gives it a bit more of an "old" look..
