After Lemondrop bade farewell to the Ant Queen and her ant groomsmen, she continued with her search for her missing tights. Farther along she spied flying strawberries. She'd never seen strawberries that could fly so she parted the leaves to get a better look. Why the strawberries weren't flying at all. A fairy girl was juggling them. "Hello there. I'm Lemondrop, what's your name?"

Media: Blue ballpoint pen on tracing paper. I like how freeing the pen is. It flowed across the paper instead of griping it and slowing down. Even though this wasn't the first rough draft, but perhaps the third or fourth version, it still has that sketchy quality that I like. I'll do a cleaned up version with color sometime in the future - it's still fun to see what details like to pop up when painting.
At any rate, this is the newest fairy to 101 Fairy Lane, but I don't know her name yet. Any ideas? So far Lemondrop has her friend, Thistleberry who also lives in the lemon orchard. Whoever gives me the best idea for the new fairy's name will win a prize. So come on, give me suggestions please. :-)
