If I was a magical, kind fairy, I would live quietly in your apartment, blessing you each day. I love the spirit of your space and of your work..

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Melissa! I would sure enjoy the company of a kind fairy overhere :)

[@fairyfarms]

as a magical fairy, i would like permission to move in

[@kathyvaughn8647]

You are so generous with your time and talent. You are such a lovely, young woman. Thank you so very, very much for all of your thoughtfulness. I am now an old woman, 76, but I hope that I bring joy and love to people-not like the “fairies”. I am very busy on and around the farm this time of year, but have enrolled in several of your workshops-looking forward, with anticipation on having more time to work on them. I love your videos and your sharing. Much happiness and joy to you!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Kathy!! I'm sure you are not like these naughty fairies ; ) yes I hope by the winter season you will have more time to start them and you show me your progress , being on a farm I can imagine you must be very busy at this season!Thank you for taking the time to stop by :)

[@silvergirl7810]

You are so talented- I love all of your sculptures- but it’s much more than just your sculptures- it’s a whole world of wonder that you create- thank you for sharing!🩵

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you for your kind words ! I'm glad ou appreciate what I share in the videos :)

[@roksannastephens4375]

Yes!!!

[@davidjohnston9356]

Your Fairies are perfect. I always loved stories about witches more than any other. Usually, it was about one good witch in the middle of a lot really, really bad once. I can see how this is much fun for you. ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you :) Yes a fairy tale without bad fairies or witches is not a real fairy tale , though all the fairies are bad here !

[@michelleeveille4435]

What a pleasure to watch your videos and discover your exceptional word !!! And what a dexterity ! Your gestures are so sure and precise in the details of faces and garments. And your sense of colours is incredible. I am never tired of discovering your world

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Michelle for your kind words, I'm very glad you appreciate whatI share here, thank you ! :)

[@carinas916]

Aside from looking forward to seeing what your fantastic talent, and imaginative mind have created, i love the lifestyle that you have conjured for yourself through hard work and magic. I so look forward to watching your videos, and spending a little time in that world. It has been quite rainy in my part of the world as well, so sitting with a cup of tea and watching the fairies take shape tonight was a beautiful respite after a long work day. Thank you so much! ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you very much! and Happy to know I kept you company for a deserved tea time :))

[@mariafusco7899]

I love watching you work! Your attention to the micro-detail and the historicity is amazing. The balance of the detail, of the patterns, is beautiful. I also enjoy your sharing what inspires you. Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Maria ! Glad you enjoyed this one too and if it inspired you :)

[@TheZeyre]

Wow, the details in the faces!❤❤❤

[@yolandagarza7897]

By this time it's no secret that you are one of the most gifted artist in the world ❤, watching your videos is like watching a beautiful fairy tale come to life ♥,.when you said that it's been cold and rainy made me feel like I wish I were there 😊 since it's been so hot and humid for most of the spring season, here in the south of Texas 😢🥵 thank you princess for sharing this video, Love from Texas USA 🇺🇸 ❤❤🎉

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You are very kind Yolanda :) I'm glad you enjoy each video, I'm sorry it's already very hot and humid in your south of Texas, I gladly send you some cooler air and clouds and rain here it's sunny just today and back to rain and storm tomorrow....

So very intriguing and soothing. I love these characters and your attention to detail❣️ Your imitation fabric textiles are wonderfully detailed and the paper drapes so nicely. These characters are delightful to see in different stages of completion. They are always inspiring. 💖👍

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Rozani ! Glad if you found the video soothing :) and you enjoy seeing the progress of these fairies, have a happy creative week in your studio :)

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome. Will do. 🙂

[@roksannastephens4375]

Hello Laetitia and Choclette, thank you again for such a lovely video, and seeing kitty walking about. I can totally see your wanting to a costume designer, and you are! Just in miniture form now. Yes, faeries in the past were consided in a negative connotation, and feared.Your two women faeries are exquisite. Painting in their eyes truly brought them to life, didn't it?! And I agree, 'ugliness' has its own beauty, and quite interesting to capture in 2- and in 3-D form. Thank you again, for opening your castle doors into your kingdom, just for us.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Hello Roksanna yes it's true! I am after all in a miniature way. Glad you enjoyed the visit to the Kingdom today ! You're welcome : )

@@Merveillesenpapier yes, I do. I live on the west coast of Canada just outside of Vancouver and I paint many images of characters from folk and fairy tales. I recently had an exhibition of my work that focused on Fairytale witches.

[@anieth]

For my graphic novels, I do about 400 drawings a year. The panels are on 17x14 paper, so about 6 frames per drawing. After about 10,000 drawings, you get very, very tired of young and beautiful. I'm always delighted to draw an old person or an ethnic person. I like drawing unusual faces, as well. Here, they've started calling the old kind of fair folk, "the fey," I think because of Disney movies. Did you look at Alan Lee's work? His Faeries book is especially full of fun old critters.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

yes I can imagine that10000 drawings of beautiful princesses..... that would be my hell old and ugly can be very refreshing and much more interesting ! yes Ive seen his drawings it's very beautiful!

[@aletheadavis2461]

I love all your art. I have a question. You seem to make everything so effortlessly beautiful. Do you ever mess up and have to start over?

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you ! sometimes Im not happy with my first result but I rarely have to start over I usually try to improve what I have started and usually it works , once in while if I have a real technical problem I might start over like for a castle but it wouldn't be the case for characters .and most of my art .

[@FT56777]

So sad that old = ugly. I know you don’t mean it that way but it is the way it is. Also, your work is amazing.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !I definitely never meant that , now those fairies were old and ugly so I didn't want them to be young princesses like they always do in cinema and films these days where ugliness has disappeared from all screens. For a bit of context in the XVII th th century old age definitely meant ugliness, it appears a lot in novels, and letters memoirs and faiy tales;, also because of their health and poor nourishment,and the medical progress people had to go through way more sicknesses, and skin sicknesses, mouth problems, teeths issues ......that could amplify the aging and damage the face and increase the ugliness.

[@FT56777]

@@Merveillesenpapier thank you 😊 You have made ugly beautiful!
