Pencil, ink, and watercolor on watercolor paper.

It was then that she saw it as she rounded the corner of a large book case. Under the window and propped upon a display stand upon the shelf. The streams of sunlight in which danced motes of dust like tiny fairies shown upon the red cloth bound cover with an image of nude floral fairy, emerging from a rose stamped in gold upon it's surface. The titled stamped along the spine in gold read "Fairies of the Mythic Tapestry"

Without hesitation, Holly Ann gently picked up the book and studied it. Rather than a normal fairy tale book, it appeared to be a guide. It was clearly Victorian in age, however no author or illustrator were credited with creating it. On a page beside a full color plate version of the cover illustration was the publisher. Apparently it was published by a company called Mythic World based in London England. The date of publication read 1887. The illustrations were enchantingly beautiful and ranged from pen and ink drawings to watercolor and gouache pieces.

It was then she turned to a chapter titled " The Godivas". Beside the title page was an enchanting full color plate of a watercolor piece featuring ballerinas performing gracefully only in their shoes and some ribbons. Along the edges of the piece, tiny, winged fairies could be seen flitting and fluttering about. It was now that she knew this would be the beginning of something incredible.
