I found it fascinating the difference it made to turn @everlove's original image around the other way and then change the colour. At this stage it reminded me of a marble ~ Which I've always loved, but come to think of it, haven't seen for many years now.
And then I loved how my 'marble' became a dew drop egg for you. Amazing symbolism ~ Water of life.
Love the bright freshness of your loose watercolour ~ And of course the water fairy, in all her different postures. 🙏❄️🎊❄️🙏
Thank you very much for this amazing comment.

P.S. I have a lovely collection of glass marbles!
I've just read the story of the Rain Fairy and the Armies of Ants. Truly heartwarming and uplifting. You have a remarkable gift for both writing and illustration that I find really inspiring. I love the value you add in all you do.
I haven't drawn for a VERY long time ~ Gradually starting to again now. Years ago I did a series of drawings of marbles in different situations. Can only recall one of them: A marble in colour detail as a drop earing on a line drawing of a face.
Love the combination of simple line drawings with a small area of colour detail ~ As in the stages you have here. Lovely in their own right. 🌺🐜🌺
