Naughty fairies, Pink Polka Dots and lots of glitter

One of my most favorite clients wanted me to design and paint polka dots and fairies on four 24"by24" matboads (reinforced on the back with matboard strips) for a spec condo, a little girl's room, in Chicago.  The big polka dots were white or salmon pink with accompanying naughty fairies hanging from the edges or charging out into white or pink space....with a few crowned birds as well.  And, lots of glitter and gold detail.

I had to work fast,so I designed first on tissue.

Then I cut out 8 ply mat board, rounded the edges, painted the polka dots and and the fairies.  Then came the "frosting" edges, the glitter and the gold.  Warning: I am finding glitter all over the studio, my sock drawer and behind my ears.  Haven't seen this much sparkle since I worked on kindergarten projects.
