Artist Proof Drawing! Fairy Queen by Barbara S Harmon est artist Framed & Matted

Description

This piece is framed and matted behind glass it measures 19 and 1/4 inch by 14 and 1/4 in. Another eBayer brought it to the attention of myself that this is an artist proof (because she asked for the signature that was below the hem of the right side of the gown). I didn't bother to take a picture of that until today. It is now in photographs as the second picture. It says that this is an "artist proof" which (I think) is the proof they do before the actual printing. I'm not sure, so either way- good luck treasure hunting,!
The following I have copy and pasted from the internet about the artist you can research more but I added a couple paragraphs so you can get the idea of who she was she also did publish a book on fairies in the 70s.
Remarkable Women of Taos
Barbara Sayre Harmon, Artist
My métier is fantasy, the World of Willderwish, which encompasses both a lighthearted atmosphere and the mysteries of ancient bottles, bouquets, and muses in enchanted gardens. My early travels with my father to remote areas of the Southwest, and the beautiful fairy tales he used to tell me, have been my lifelong inspiration.
Barbara Sayre Harmon is one of the last remaining members of a loosely organized group of artists who arrived in Taos in the 1940s.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
********small print*****
PLEASE: look at all pictures as part of the description and to determine if the condition is what you want and expect for your personal standards.
I sell vintage and used items. Nothing is new, so please, do not expect it to be new!
I do try my very best, to describe things that may be an issue for people: scratches, cracks, chips, repairs, etc. if there is something specific that you want me to look for, I will do my best to accommodate you.
I purchased this by picking various places and am starting it at less than I expect to sell it for, but at a minimum price that I can (hopefully) still afford to pay the eBay and Paypal Fees and for my time to find it, list it, package it, clean it, and ship it all covered up in bubble wrap and cellophane like a futuristic mummy.
IF I notice damage, I will state it.
IF, somehow you win an auction or buy an item and I notice some damage that I didn't notice prior, when I go to pack it up, I will contact you and refund your money before I will send you an item that is unacceptable.
*********Please note***********
that in some instances, usually for large or very heavy parcels, I offer the options of either priority mail OR parcel post:
IF you're close to Illinois the price is basically the same.
IF you're not... you're going to want to go parcel post because there is a big difference in cost.
Take note that parcel post doesn't carry the normal insurance that priority does. That means- if it is stolen or lost in the mail- it will not be monitarily reimbursed. And I will not claim responsibility for that, unless you want to pay the extra for insurance and add onto your invoice total. Please send me a note that you added that on if you do.
Either way, please make sure that you select which shipping method you want when eBay sends you an invoice, because that is the way I will send it: whatever is paid for.
RETURNS:
**********************************************
I only accept returns if the item is damaged or NOT AS DESCRIBED.
**********************************************
Your full refund will be made,
BUT, THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURN SHIPPING COSTS!
***By buying this item you are agreeing to these terms. ***
(Of course, eBay offers a return guarantee anyway, so there would be nothing I could do if you decide not to pay return shipping costs- except block you from bidding on my future items. It would be my only recourse, unfortunately.) So, I am relying your honor on this one.
Upon return of item and message with email address, I can then PayPal you your refund.
**********************************************
Item must be shipped insured if it was sent insured.
If you don't like the item or it doesn't fit, that does not qualify for return.
My eBay store is called "Divine Vintage Rescues".
You can browse my store at :

The pictures taken are usually with AND without flash, to show you the item in different lighting. **Without flash is usually the more accurate color.**
If you have a question about the way the item looks in the lighting of the pictures- please email me so that I can send you other pictures to make sure that you want the item and it is the color that you want.
I am an experienced shipper so your items will be VERY carefully packaged.  #
Taking this into consideration I usually add an extra 6-8 oz. on to the weight because I sometimes double box and add a lot of packing material, if something's especially fragile. Or, for framed art, I add an extra lb. as extra weight is incurred by the excess padding needed to stabilize the glass (as good as possible).
Combined shipping is available on all auctions.. if you do win more than one item contact me and I will find out the actual shipping cost, so before you pay the eBay bill, wait for my invoice instead.
I go out everyday to shop for items to sell to all my Ebay friends...I spend hours and hours scrubbing off sometimes I think- years of stuff on some.
Sometimes, I don't wash the item at all if it will compromise the item in some way. (Original paper or foil stickers, old hand-painted items.)
I buy most of my pieces at auctions, flea markets & yard sales so, most of the time, I don't know the history of the item.
I am not an antique dealer or expert.
I describe the item along with any flaws and markings I can find the best I can.
But sometimes, something that may be noticeable to you is not necessarily noticeable to me- so please review all the pictures.
I usually use all 12 slots, but if you need more pictures- please contact me.
Ideally, PAYMENT is expected within :
**** 3 days****.
I WILL SEND OUT A REMINDER NOTICE (THAT EBAY SUPPLIES ME WITH) WITHIN TWO DAYS AND THEN, ON THE THIRD DAY I WILL SEND OUT AN ACTUAL INVOICE. BUT THEN AFTER 3 DAYS IS UP, EBAY WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN AN UNPAID ITEM CASE.
But, communication is the key. If, for some reason you are not able to pay in 3 days, please get ahold of me.
I am more than willing to hold for a reasonable amount of time. Sometimes life just gets in the way of things and unexpected things happen. But you must get a hold of me and let me know because eBay will open up an unpaid item case if I do not intervene before the regular 3 day wait period.
RETURNS (To make sure you read it twice.)
I only accept returns if the item is damaged or NOT AS DESCRIBED.
Your full refund will be made, BUT, THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURN SHIPPING COSTS!
Item must be shipped insured if it was sent insured.
If you don't like the item (FOR ANY REASON) that does NOT qualify for return. YOU HAD PICTURES PRIOR TO PURCHASE.
ALSO: It is the buyers responsibility to as specific questions- if it is not marked in the auction.
Please look at all pictures as part of the description and to determine the condition is what you want. IN CASE I MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOMETHING THAT MAY MATTER TO YOU!

SOMETIMES:
Your standard postage rate includes cost of boxes, tape, and shipping materials.
The rate you pay isn't always what's noted in the listing- MOST THE TIME, BUT NOT ALWAYS. I am just a small ebay store and I SPEND ALOT ON the cost of packaging materials. So if postage paid isn't over a substantial amount, it helps on packing supplies, which you will note, I am not stingy with, if it is over, say, , shoot me a message with your email address and I will send it to you as soon as I get the message.
ALSO, sometimes eBay calculations are wrong on amount of postage. In most cases if it's below I will actually cover it without asking for reimbursement, (this happens way more than I'd like it to unfortunately). If it is over though, I will contact you to make sure you still want the item for the postage still needed. If not I will just cancel the order and you will not be penalized in any way, shape or form.
Shipping is to be either Priority, First Class or Parcel Post. Sometimes media mail (books, DVDs, etc).
Order almost always ships within 2-4 business days after payment clears. (Barring holidays, Sundays and personal emergencies).
I do my best to be prompt and professional with my Ebay sales.
However time is a valuable thing, and I must adapt it best for my overall needs.
If you purchase from me I can guarantee you three things:
1) You will get a competitive and fair price point for your purchase.
2) You will always receive your item(s) in condition advertised. As long as the box isn't annihilated by postal journey.
3) I pack extremely well. I'm a collector myself and I love all items that I sell, so I ship how I would like my items shipped to me.
Happy Treasure hunting!
