Description

This art arose from my Whispering Daydreams Collection, a Toile de Jouy as seen on Spoonflower:

See it, too, on my blog page: http://nancyleemoran.com/blog/?p=795

Nissi, a baby fairy with rabbit ears, also appears on fabric and wallpaper on Spoonflower. For children and baby nursery, it is a collaboration with bbflockling, who created the original dolls. Minuet is the name of the loving moon, who is shown in this art as a father and as a mother.
For this "Imaginative Realism" art, I used Photoshop in 2016 to add color to my original colored-pencil drawing.

Here is story of "Minuet and Nissi" as shown on my hand-drawn "Whispering Daydreams" fabric.
Once Upon A Time, two babies were born, one at night, one in the morn.
Minuet was a New Moon; Nissi, a human child.
Once only, a Golden Hour allowed Nissi to follow her daydreams all the way to the stars, on dragonfly wings.
Minuet spotted Nissi and tinkled nursery bells to lure the baby near.
When Nissi came to rest upon the moon, Minuet went into orbit to put the bunny-child asleep, humming a lullaby while moon clouds tucked in baby's small feet.
