Artist Notes
This all started from the mushroom shot. When I can I love to shoot beneath them to see the lovely frills. AS I went through my images the whole thing seemed to come together. I wasn't planning to do this IT just happened. The birds are individual decorations I saw at the Rainforest Cafe. The flowers are orchids I viewed on 2/17/12.

THere was just something about those birds on swings that I thought would be nice hanging beneath the mushroom. I did a lot of tracing and cutting to remove them form their original images. I painted ivy around the mushroom stem and then had it come over the top of the mushroom. The swings are hanging from tendrils I painted in. After I did that I thought it would be nice to add some flowers on the ivy...so added the orchids.

THe mushroom was done seperately in fractalius and became the bottom layer. After I completed the rest of the scene. I placed in the final image in fractalius again. I also had to remake the parrots face because it was completely washed out.

I hope you enjoy my magical place!
Thanks SO much for stopping by! :o) Helvi



two layers of fractalius fliter, four images (orchid,two seperate birds, mushroom. painted ivy, emboss

The creative Bug really sank its teeth into Helvi. She is a member on Fan Story as well as here on Fan Art.

On both sites her primary interest is nature. Mixed Media and photography are two subjects that keep her busy here.

She loves to experiment with mixed media and might surprise you by creating birds,animals, butterflies and flowers from her backdoor screen. You might even see her poetry as the actual image she is writing about.A picture done in words.

She's well aware of nature's natural beauty too, along with all the creatures within it.

An anxiety/depression disorder has plagued her for her entire life. Finding courage to respond to you and write reviews is not an easy task for her so please accept her appologies for not always getting it done.

PLease know she is grateful to everyone who views her work and reads every single review. Your remarks mean a lot to her. She is proud to be among such incredible artist and pho ...
