"What is it like?"

You ask me, my dear

"Will there be fairies...? Or things to fear?"

"For fairies sake I'd say you better come with me,
so soon you'll see !"

Now up and down it goes and round
Round and round and round !

- Blind Guardian "Fly"

While this is not an actual depiction of "Wendy" from James Matthew Barrie´s "Peter Pan", it is still DEFINITELY inspired by that story!

Actually, this started out purely as a "just for fun"-playing-around session with a photo of (Yes, its her! The original photo i used here was taken by , used with friendly permission), it somehow started to... well, snowball itself! Somehow, the photo of reminded me of her flying (even though she is just jumping in the original photo).

Now, and seeing as her and me recently talked about Peter Pan and related subjects, i thought it was nice to try, if i can somehow make her "fly" by the powers of "wonderful thoughts and imaginations", towards "the second one to the right and then then straight on until morning light"

I figured she might like that idea.

Initially, i only wanted to try out to add a glow to her... but then... Well, many of you know that feeling, when you were just plain playing around with something, and then there is this "magic moment", when youve passed a sorta "point of no return" and just CANNOT STOP anymore until its FINISHED and completely get carried away with what youre doing...

Well, thats just what happened here.

Now, when this one was finished, it was WAY past midnight.
And i looked at the Windows clock... and into my calendar...
and noticed:

Its valentines day!

And yeah... the thoughtprocess was somewhat like this:

PhotoManip of p-i-c flying...
Valentines Day...
Photomanip of p-ic flying...
Valentines Day...

(yeah, i am kinda SLOW...)

Now, anyways, it SOMEWHEN made "click" in my head and decided to not just dedicate this to my dear and close friend (after all: i have used her photo!), but even make this a very special and unique VALENTINES DAYs- CARD for her!

Oh, and actually, i didnt even mean to upload this to dA, to keep this a special gift for a special friend, on V-Day, but she encouraged me to do so, and thus i did

So... well, she already got her own, FULL RES Version of this piece, with a handwritten dedication from me, to her, but thats HERS to keep, and i wouldnt anyone else but her to have the Version with the Signature and dedication, so i simply removed it for this upload. So, shes the only one having the version with the dedication (besides me)

So...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, dear !!!

Thanks for being such a great friend, thanks for spending so much time with me, and even more thanks for supporting me so much and encouraging me to keep going

But... most importantly:

Thanks for being the person that you are

Lotsa hugz and a nice warm cuddle,

love, TRiG
