Description The gorgeous, apple-green peridot is one of the traditional birthstones for the month of August. In keeping with the beautiful summer green tones of the stone, I've given the Peridot Fairy a nature-oriented Dryad theme.

The loose and long red hair, the pale green of a natural tone...this gemstone art makes me feel so happy looking at it. I love deep greens, and Emerald is my birthstone, but in truth I far prefer this work for August. So beautiful and so well done artistically. The color, the figure, the feeling of the piece, they are all very, very good. I am only sorry I can't give you more precise compliments or critique as I am not an artist myself.

Thank you so much for the beautiful comments! I'm happy you like Peridot, to be honest, I had the hardest time with this one. I struggled to find a theme and design for it and everything just mercifully fell into place. She's one of my favorites.

One of mine as well. Would you mind if I printed out some of your art and laminated it to use as bookmarks? Just for my own use, color ink is expensive to deal with. I could type your name over the bottom of the image if you'd like at the same time I crop them to fit a bookmark length.

Honestly, I forgot such things were even an option to create and sell on DA. I'm glad you weren't insulted by my asking, in light of the possibility I didn't think of.

Deathpen In reply to redheaded-step-child [2007-08-11 07:54:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, when some people color, no matter how much they smudge, you can still see pencil traces, instead of a nice color... its kinda hard to explain, as my English is not top notch...

redheaded-step-child In reply to Deathpen [2007-09-01 20:16:45 +0000 UTC]

Oh I see. This is watercolor, so the only actual pencil is used for the sketch, which is only very light.
