This was this week's fabulous sketch



This is a pretty unusual image (a fairy on a slug) but it is cute and I'm glad I finally inked it up! I added Smooch Illuminate paint to her wings, wand and shoes for a bit of sparkle but it didn't really show up too well in the photo.
We hope that you'll come along and play with us at The Pixie Cottage this week :)
