So, as most of you know....I think, I am a student teacher which, though rewarding in its own way, does not pay...so I babysit to earn a living. (We all have bills to pay, and it's flexible self employment).
While babysitting today, the 3-year-old daughter of the family I sit with was coloring in this Pixi-halla/Disney coloring book with her magic markers that only color on this special paper. (blahblahblah) and I got to looking at the fairies...I mean really looking at them and thinking....why haven't I tried to include one in one of my stories before.
Now I have this image of a blue fairy (not Pinocchio...actually blue, her skin at least) who I want to create. I don't know how, but I want to write a story and include her in it, maybe not as the main, but definitely as a big character....she's going to be blue with brilliant red afro-hair that has these goldish, orange streaks....I don't know, I just can't shake the idea and it's spinning around in my head since this morning. Now, as I sit to write, I'm having trouble getting started and organizing my thoughts. The trouble with genius?
I'll keep you posted!

Blue with a red afro? I don't know that that has a good aesthetic. Blue and Red aren't good complimentary colors. Check a color wheel. Blue and yellow; blue and orange... those combinations work well.
ReplyDeleteShe's not supposed to match! Though I get your point, I want her to look odd.
