Thank you John Atkinson Grimshaw
I am a cheat, or if you did not like my explanation of what I did with Photoshop a bigger cheat.
Thomas the Rhymer features tiny golden fairies no bigger than your thumb, but I had no idea where to find them until I came across John Atkinson Grimshaw's (1836 - 1893) stunning work.
Some of his paintings, such as Spirit of the Night and Iris feature sprite like women, which I cut out, duplicated and used, with very minimum alteration. Check out his beautiful work at
