Pattern needed: Fairy / Faerie / Farie

[GregGaub]

Hey, all. I've been googling around but coming up short. I'm making Zippered Coin Wallets (Kit #44013-00, discontinued from Tandy) for my neices, who both love fairies. The finished item isn't much bigger than a business card wallet, so I'm looking for VERY simple/small designs to put on them. In fact, a 3D stamp would be perfect, if there was one (is there?). I can carve it myself, but all the fairy images/designs I've found are really beautiful but equally complex and large. A cel-shaded style would be cool, but I don't want to to Tinkerbell, rather a generic (and cooler than Tinkerbell ;-) fairy.

I'm still looking, but would be overjoyed if someone has one or finds one before me.

Thanks!

-Greg

Thanks, Tracy. That's the book I saw at Tandy with all the very beautiful, but very large and complex images. I only flipped through it, but I don't recall seeing any small/simple images that I could use. Do you have that book? If I missed something, please let me know and I'll go back to the store and take a closer look.

Thanks, Oddball. Those are some really good ones. I didn't think of looking for stencils.

Much appreciated, you guys!

nothing too simple in the book, sometimes I will silhouette one with a good shape and highlight the hair/wings/dress to stand out. Another good source for simpler, smaller drawings is to google images for tattoo art--you'll find a lot of shared artwork in that forum.

good luck with your faries!

You might try to copy one of the big ones and reduce the size in the copier until you get the size you want. My wife is a quilter and I have done this many times for her. I have also done this with some of my smaller projects about the same size you are doing. Hope this helps.
